We did 21 of the matches and BT Sport and BBC Sport handled the rest. Those matches were live domestically or for BBC highlights so we took clean feeds from those to produce our world feeds. Clean match feeds were accessed from BT Tower or on satellite, we then added graphics, EVS highlights and commentary from our production centre in Chiswick, ” said Williams.
BBC Sport directly covered Newport County v Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool and Southampton v Derby County (replay) as their live games. The Third Round involved 64 teams. Due to a new FA overseas television deal which came into effect this season, only 10 of the 32 Third Round matches kicked off at the traditional slot of 15:00 GMT on Saturday. The new contract caused a number of matches to be moved to other time-slots to accommodate viewers outside the UK. Each CTV-supplied match OB featured between four and seven cameras, with either one or two channels of EVS. The average game involved 18 OB crew with the total deployment being over 490 rigger, engineer, camera operator and third-party man-days across the 21 matches – 17 on Saturday and four last Sunday.

“The FA element is all the world feeds plus 21 of the OBs for match coverage. We also have the contract for the BBC Goals Exchange so we take in all the matches and provide goal clips and match highlights of all the matches. “Doing 21 OBs at the start of the year, with Christmas in the way, has been a challenge! You’re going everywhere from Gillingham all the way up to more established clubs like Newcastle United. Doing it on this scale was certainly challenging, but overall it went very well and the team at CTV were instrumental in its success. “This year, every single (Third Round) match had an OB on it, with at least four cameras.
CTV also contracted and managed Telegenic, Video Europe, Prolink TV and Pro-Active for its coverage. The locations for the CTV-provided OBs were Bournemouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Shrewsbury, West Brom, West Ham, Aston Villa, Bolton, Fleetwood, Brentford, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Burnley, Norwich, Bristol City, Newcastle, Gillingham, Accrington, Preston, Millwall and QPR.
Match commentaries were added to all 32 ties, either off-tube from the Production Centre or from the 21 OBs contracted to provide the match coverage. A standalone FA Cup Superfeed – an eight-hour continuous programme showcasing the pick of the live games and the highlights of others – was also created, while all the goals and highlight edits were delivered on two rolling clip channels for the BBC to use on its Match of the Day show.
