NEP Serves NHL and NBA

NEP has released news of another another busy hockey and basketball playoff season, providing simultaneous mobile broadcasting services for the Stanley Cup and NBA Championship playoffs.
For the NHL, NEP is supporting NBC Sports Group’s live broadcasts of all playoff games. For the NBA, NEP is supporting two major national cable networks. For both playoff series, NEP is also providing support to several regional networks.
The spring playoff season is one of the year’s busiest times for NEP, as the right vehicles, equipment, and engineers are required to arrive on schedule to cover games in cities and venues that are often determined only hours before by the outcome of the previous game.
NEP must meet the varying needs of its national and regional clients while ensuring coverage for other high-profile events that happen during the period — such as this year’s Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont horse races, also for NBC Sports Group; the U.S. Open golf championship; and national and regional baseball games.
With more than 60 HD production trucks worldwide, NEP works to provide high-quality facilities and services for large numbers of simultaneous productions and multiple clients.
For NBC Sports Group’s NHL playoff coverage, NEP has deployed its ND5, ND6, SS28, and NCP8 mobile broadcasting units, with its ND4, SS18, SS22, SS23, SS25, and Corplex Chromium units reserved for the NBA playoffs.
"Year after year, we’re able to pull off one of the most impressive juggling acts in sports broadcasting, and we always deliver. This is because no other mobile broadcasting company can provide the breadth and depth of resources we offer on a nationwide scale, and also because of the unparalleled commitment and dedication of our staff," said Mike Werteen, senior vice president of sales and client services for NEP.
"As a result, we’ve built a strong level of trust with our broadcasting and cable clients, who know we’ll be able to offer high-quality, reliable, and innovative services for some of the year’s most watched sports events."
