ONE World Sports has opened the ONE World Sports Broadcast Center, a state-of-the-art high definition production facility in Stamford, CT as part of a comprehensive re-launch of the global sports network on August 3.

The national sports network also will introduce a global sports ticker, and debut its bold on-air branding and graphics at the same time.

ONE World Sports will utilize Encompass’ Stamford and Singapore facilities. The ONE World Sports Broadcast Center will be located in Stamford where Encompass will provide full-time master control, uplink, satellite space segment, production and post-production. The network’s production, operations and promotion staff will also have offices at the ONE World Sports Broadcast Center.
