Case Study: wTVision, Mediapro Take Over TV Production for Bolivian Football

It all started in 2014 with the graphics for the Bolivian Football League and, in only three years, it grew so much that nowadays wTVision and Mediapro are in charge of the broadcast of all the main football events that take place in Bolivia: the Bolivian League, the World Cup Qualifiers, the Copa America, the U-20 and U-17 South American Cups and weekly shows about the national league. The process was consolidated, last year, with the inauguration of wTVision’s office in Bolivia, in the city of Santa Cruz.

For this broad project, wTVision and its parent company Mediapro built a team that now rounds 60 professionals, made up of directors, producers, operators and assistants. To make it all run smoothly, wTVision implemented a powerful PCR solution, that includes several of the company’s main products: FootballStats CG (scouting system and on-air graphics controller), Studio CG (integrated solution to manage and control on-air graphics and videos, on newscasts and live studio shows), Media Tools (ingest and trimming software) and wTVision Media Manager.

The TV production comprises two HD Mobile Production Units, nine Cameras (including a super slow motion one), two Micro Cameras, three Replay Systems, two Production Centres and a Satellite Ground Station. The Ground Station is shared with the client of this major project, THE GAME, the company that owns the full broadcasting rights of the Bolivian League (“Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano”) and the Bolivian national football teams. THE GAME delivers the matches after completing all production stages and it is also in charge of the TV commercials spaces during the broadcasts and the static advertisement on the stadiums.
