Well the court feeds are on 7e but the superfeed is missing so presumably it is fibre.

From London = IMG.
You would assume its an IMG production for (Amazon) Prime, given there's a couple of the usual suspects from the same company produced Wimbledon Championship Live in-house TV channel for the aforementioned tournament.
It's being shown on 'Sport24' the airline and cruise ship sports channel, which is run by IMG, so you'd assume the feeds from Flushing Meadows end up in Stockley Park via the fibers and daisy chain around the outlets from there.
US Tennis association going for the money rather than the exposure again, signing up with Amazon.
Really surprised the USTA didn't offer up rights to show a hour long next day highlights package for Eurosport/Sky/BT/ITV to fight over as well as the live coverage from the brown box delivery merchants.

It's a Whisper Films production at IMG Studios at Stockley Park.
I believe the on-site studio on the main channel is a remote production and cut in the UK, so would expect all circuits to IMG in London to be via fibre to reduce latency (presentation cameras and court feeds)

The draw for the Champions League group stages started about 5 or 6 minutes late for me this evening on RTÉ News Now.
Irish coverage of the draw is also included on the Virgin Media Player & RTÉ Player.
David Beckham has just won the 2018 president's award at the draw in Monaco.
How it did the start of it begin for you guys on BT Sport 2? Is it the same as me or am I a few minutes behind?
UEFA are using the new graphics this evening. They have a backdrop for the 2019 Final at Madrid in the background.
Here is the screen from Pot 1 to Pot 4 using the new graphics.

Late on BTSport2 too, miscued to the studio too. Cut to Pedro and Reshmin already on stage without preliminaries.

According to that video, we have 2 hours for the match calendar to be released after this draw. Is that normal for a draw like this one? There was also news of a third tier competition being unveiled by UFEA for lower ranked football sides in Europe. But details of this are known to be scarce.

Yes, because broadcasters need to be consulted for fine tuning, esp this year with the 2+6 staggered kickoffs

Two hours is a pretty good turnaround when you realise it took EPCR about eight weeks to announce the match calander for the Heineken Cup, with only three host broadcasters to consult.
