All Elite Wrestling Part 2: How SES makes live sports broadcasts come to life

When one of the world’s most watched wrestling promoters contacted SES to help build their global audience - our instant response was ‘hell yeah’!

Distribution, sat trucks, IP, fibre, full redundancy…just a handful of the solutions that we can provide our live sports and events partners such as NFL, ESPN or…AEW.

In this second of four episodes, we go behind-the-scenes to hear the why and how a tennis stadium in Queens was transformed into a Grand Slam All Elite Wrestling event watched by thousands across the world.

With thanks to our guests:

David Fruitman, transmission manager for AEW

Greg Werner, executive in charge of production at AEW 

Kyle Clouse, DVB engineer for sports and events at SES

Derek Ortman, Sports and Events Operator for sports and events at SES

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
