French Tennis Federation Commission Input Media to Produce Roland Garros International Super Signal

Input Media has won a competitive tender to produce the International Super Signal for the French Open at Roland Garros for the next two years. Appointed by the French Tennis Federation (FFT), the sports production company will provide the tournament presentation to the international rights holders for the event, which complements the French host broadcaster’s own coverage.

The bid for the prestigious contract was masterminded by new Head of Programmes Neil Oughton, Head of Production Development Rick Waumsley and Executive Producer Mike Inman. They will take charge of the 2-week long production in Paris, which will be based at Roland Garros using a “fly away” technical area.

Input Media’s MD David Wood further remarked “This contract not only expands our tennis portfolio, but also highlights our growing reputation as producers of big Live Events and our position as a major sports production company in the global market”.

The FFT will join other high profile Input Media clients including UEFA, Team Marketing, FIFA, the International Tennis Federation, Setanta Sports, Chelsea Digital Media, Arsenal TV, The Football Association, Wembley Stadium, IEC in Sports, Pitch International and Sport Five.
