A late arrangement and organizational problems. After long months of discussions, France Télévisions and M6 formalized the broadcast of the next Women’s World Cup on June 14. Just five weeks away from a month-long competition, which begins this Thursday.
Only here, the matches of the French women’s team of Hervé Renard will then be commented on in the cabin from studios in Paris, as explained by L’Equipe . For economic, ecological and also organizational problems.
“Transferring them all (the commentators) on the spot would have been both very expensive and complicated to set up in such a short time, justifies Pascal Golomer, deputy director for sports at France Télévisions. For such events, the reservations of positions are also made several months in advance, the deadlines were exceeded for a long time.
Although there are no commentators in Australia and New Zealand, the two groups will still send journalists to the sidelines, in particular to carry out post-match interviews. Only one person will be present for each media. France Télévisions will also rely on its regional branches, based in New Caledonia.
A device that will not move, even in the event of a good run by the French team. It would then be too complicated and expensive to send people on site for two matches (semi-final and final or match for third place). France Télévisions, exclusive broadcaster of the final, will rely on its Paris-based duo. It was also difficult to organize such a trip since the consultants chosen for the occasion cannot miss the resumption of the next season.
