Record broadcast coverage for 2006 FIFA World Cup™June 7, 2006 on 7:36 pm | In General, Event Management | No CommentsWith two days to go before the Opening Match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™, one of sport’s biggest and most complex host broadcast operations in television history is entering its key final phase. There will be the highest number of broadcasters in the history of the FIFA World Cup™. Coverage will reach more than 200 countries with a projected cumulative viewing audience of 32.5 billion (a 10 percent increase compared to 2002). For 2006, there will be more than 500 broadcast partners including 240 television licensees, a record number of 220 radio stations and more than 50 New Media Licensees (Mobile Telephony and Internet). By comparison, the 2002 event was transmitted by 300 broadcast partners. New media coverage of the world’s greatest sports event is set to reach new standards. In 2002, new media coverage of the FIFA World Cup™ was limited to the official FIFA website and trial transmissions to mobile phones in Japan. This year 2006, fans will be able to receive near-live coverage of the most dramatic and decisive moments of all the 64 matches on their mobile telephony devices or their home computer. More than 100 territories are covered by a New Media license.
