CoP Show: Live events TV 31 May 2012

Thu, 31 May 12

2012 sees two epic¹ live events, the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee². Coverage³ of the Royal Wedding was a big act to follow, however the BBC rose to the occasion when the Olympic torch arrived in the UK. But how do broadcasters handle The Big Event, and by live events TV we mean coverage of occasions that would happen with or without the TV cameras, and what to do when everything goes wrong? Joining Simon Smith in the studio to discuss what goes into the planning, executing and the challenges of live events TV, are Matt Millington, Lizz Loxam and Louise Minchin.
