Shetland 2005 Host Broadcaster TV
Broadcaster Enquiries

The host Broadcaster Televison Service for the Island Games in Shetland 2005 is provided by SMG broadcast and events solutions, co-ordinated by production manager Danny Livingston.

We will be providing a limited news footage service from the Games, playing out 5 to 10 minutes per day of highlights for news broadcasters to edit and voice over for their bulletins.

Shetland Island Council * is providing streaming video to the internet for the benefit of the community, competitors, their families and friends and this content will also be available to broadcasters. We hope to provide steaming video via the internet for newsrooms to monitor the output of our service. We are also looking at providing an FTP service to enable download of small packages of highlights.

As an example, you can see a test facility playing our b-roll footage on this link:

http://media.shetland.gov.uk/b-roll

or better quality material by broadband link:

http://media.shetland.gov.uk/ot

These require windows media player to view.

These links will NOT be live during the games. Following testing we will publish the link details.
