Record broadcast markets for Billie Jean King Cup
November 11, 2022
The 2022 Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals has announced that broadcast coverage for this year’s event will extend to a record 196 territories, the most in the event’s 59-year history.
The tournament, previously known as the Fed Cup, is currently taking place in Glasgow, Scotland (culminating on November 13th) with 12 teams – Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and USA – competing for the women’s World Cup of Tennis.
The list of broadcast markets includes live free-to-air terrestrial coverage in eight of the event’s 12 participating nations, with live streamed coverage in more than 30 additional territories via Meta and the Billie Jean King Cup streaming platform.
Broadcast production of the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup is led by Gravity Media who is operating 21 cameras across the two courts, featuring speciality and net cameras. The tournament is also working with a new content distribution partner, Cingularity, a specialist in live video networking and production solutions. Cingularity is hosting a hybrid solution of satellite and IP distribution workflows to service the event’s broadcasters across a cumulative total of almost 100 hours of live content across the tournament.
Tim Stemp, ITF Executive Director, Commercial, said: “We are thrilled to be delivering coverage of the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals in more markets than ever before. As we continue to support the development and growth of the sport from the playground to podium, as part of our Advantage All programme, we want to ensure that this historic event, and coverage of tennis in general, is reaching the widest possible audience.”
