Historic TV production for Ghana 2008
Accra, Nov 20, GNA - Over four billion football fans across
the globe are expected to watch the Ghana 2008 African Cup
of Nations live on television.
To ensure that the facility works to perfection, personnel
from the various television stations in Ghana are scheduled
to visit France to acquire more insight on some of the
latest television innovations at the Local Organizing
Committee’s expense.
Magnus Rex Danquah, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the
Local Organizing Committee (LOC) told GNA Sports that his
outfit was working in partnership with French Marketing and
Media giants, Sportfive to guarantee the best television
production for the competition that laces Africa’s best 16
together.
The three-week continental showpiece will have between 12-18
cameras per game in an effort of providing viewers with the
best coverage for the event which spans January 20 –
February 10, 2008.
The Operating Officer said the number of cameras is the
highest ever in the history of the competition and puts the
event on the same pedestal as the UEFA Champions League and
the quadrennial FIFA World Cup.
The move is among the LOC’s desire to set new benchmarks and
raise the bar of excellence for the continent’s biggest
football party.
About a million visitors are expected in Ghana to watch the
competition envisaged as the best to come.
