Was amazed to see the Germans do such a bad job of keeping the show to time. It was the one thing I was thinking was guaranteed. Along with expecting perfect technical provisions.
So they ran massively over, and their commentary systems fell over...
Bring back the Scandinavians... They know what they're doing and do it properly.
Indeed !
I was talking to some German engineers a few months ago, that are supplying kit for this year's EV,
They implied the set up was rather strange. The plan was to have a completely redundant master OB truck, and kit. The problem was that one set up was predominately Sony kit, the other predominately GV/Thomson.
Their opinion was chaos could ensue if there were any problems.
I had the pleasure of working with some of the principal individuals from the NRK EV team, on a related project with them last summer. They are highly organised, stay totally calm in a crisis, and know exactly what they're doing. I'm sure they've been watching events this week with extreme interest !
Yep - Norway and Sweden know what they're doing. And also very nice people to work with.
When NRK hosted last year they had two identical HD trucks (their only HD trucks I believe) working together, but both able to work alone if they had to? (I think there was a performance director and a presentation director?)
