TAKING AUSTRALIA TO THE WORLD

GlobeCast Australia engineers and equipment were on location throughout November and December for one of the biggest live reality television show broadcasts in the world. The team deployed to work on the ninth season of Granada’s “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” for Britain’s ITV. Satellite uplink infrastructure was installed in the rainforests of northern New South Wales, with connectivity to GlobeCast Australia’s international network of fibre and satellites. GlobeCast Australia was also on location in Costa Rica in mid 2009, as Granada produced a season of the show for America’s NBC, and the team has also previously worked on the German version, “Ich Bin Ein Star”. There’ve been several major broadcasts in the past year which showcased Australian locations and events for global audiences. In September, GlobeCast Australia delivered the Australian leg of the World Rally Championships to international audiences, and later that month was involved in a ground-breaking live hook-up between the Brisbane International Festival and the World Venice Forum. Such key entertainment and social events supplement regular sports and news work for leading international broadcasters, along with provision of more than 120 full time channels across Australia and New Zealand. Broadcasters and event organisers at home and abroad trust GlobeCast Australia’s DSNG fleet and global network when delivery must be assured.
