Wales-based Pedestal Television has secured a contract to cover 30 games for the second season of the British Basketball League.

Pedestal Television’s contract covers the supply, crewing and operation of the broadcast equipment, using their flyaway PPU, Portable Production Unit.
David Leyden Dunbar, Commercial Director of British Basketball said: "Taking control of our broadcast content was a huge step for the League and we needed a partner who could be dynamic, reacting to our needs, in addition to giving us total confidence in their ability to meet our expectations in terms of delivery. I'm pleased to say Pedestal TV exceeded these expectations and have fitted the bill perfectly. With an encouraging first season of weekly content under our belt we're looking forward to a bigger and better second year with Pedestal."
Pedestal Television’s Chris Taber said: "The BBL are leading the way with the concept of BBLTV. Basketball has a big following in the UK and it’s the forward thinking of the BBL that’s giving the fans what they want and is sucessfully exposing the sport to more and more people."
Pedestal Television was founded by cameraman Chris Taber and is based in Mid Wales, UK. The production side of his company offers compact technical facilities suited for sports such as basketball.
