We broadcast the Championship according to European standards

Interview of the LIGA-TV Chief Producer Artem Shadrov.

Which standards for the SOGAZ-Russian Football Championship match broadcasting are used in the RFPL?

- Each match of the Championship is filmed by at least 13 cameras. For the matches of the high interest among supporters we use so-called extended production - increased number of cameras. We try to follow the European experience - English Premier League and Bundesliga.

Before the start of the current season we bought two TV pick up stations, which work in Kazan at new Kazan Arena and in Siberian Federal Dictrict. Due to this the quality of Ural, Ufa, Amkar and Mordovia home matches broadcasting became better.

We expect arrival of new technics, which will allow to extend our opportunities related filming inside arenas, as well as allow us to make replays in a more operative mode.

Will the graphic design of the match broadcasting be changed?

- Of course, in this season we work with graphics, which already existed. And by the new season we shall work out new design of the Championship, which will be a pleasant surprise for the supporters. The presentation of it will be held before the start of the following season.

Why are there delays in the match broadcasting sometimes?

- Fortunately, these are rare incidents, due to the force-majeure circumstances. In St.Petersburg during some construction works beyond the stadium territory the workers cut the cable. It is difficult to foresee that. In Krasnodar, the problems were because of the weather conditions - heavy rain. During broadcasting of the MD 10 match from Ufa, the signal disappeared. We are investigating now why it happened.

We have emergency equipment at every stadium, but single incidents of problems with broadcasting happen sometimes. We analyze thoroughly each incident and make conclusions. As of the following season we shall try to get support of the sattelite stations of signal delivery, but they are quite expensive.

How is the work with commentators done? Sometimes they are criticized by supporters.

- We consider the opinion of the supporters most of all. After each MD of the Championship the Premier League has meetings, where beside other things we discuss work of commentators.
