Outside Broadcast Production — UK & International
Our team has been delivering outside broadcast productions across the UK and internationally for more than twenty-five years. From Formula E circuits in Berlin, Rome and Cape Town to corporate events across the UK, we bring live television production standards to any location.
Outside broadcast is broadcast production taken out of the studio and deployed to wherever the event is happening. It demands everything live television demands — experienced crew, reliable kit, disciplined planning — plus the logistical complexity of working in locations that were not designed to be television studios.
Funny Hands Media has been doing this for a long time. Our crew have delivered OB productions across four continents.
Formula E — International Sports Presentation
One of the most significant outside broadcast contracts Funny Hands Media has delivered is the Formula E Sports Presentation, which we managed across Seasons 9 and 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Formula E races in city centres. That means working in locations such as Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport, central Rome, Cape Town’s waterfront, Misano, Jakarta and Mexico City — environments that require the full range of outside broadcast disciplines to produce broadcast-quality live sports presentation.
Across both seasons, the Funny Hands team delivered the full sports presentation output: pre-show, podium ceremony, driver introductions and entertainment content — broadcast live at each E-Prix event to global audiences.
UK-Based Outside Broadcast
The majority of our outside broadcast work takes place across the UK, covering a wide range of event types and client sectors.
Sports events, corporate conferences, awards ceremonies, live entertainment and charity broadcasts have all been delivered by Funny Hands Media crews at venues ranging from major arenas to temporary outdoor event spaces.
We work with the same disciplines on a single-camera corporate shoot as we do on a multi-camera international sports event. The scale changes; the standards do not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of outside broadcast production does Funny Hands Media deliver?
We deliver outside broadcast production for sports events, corporate conferences, live entertainment, awards ceremonies and charity broadcasts. Productions range from single-camera OB shoots to major multi-camera international events.
Has Funny Hands Media delivered outside broadcast productions internationally?
Yes. Our international OB work includes the Formula E Sports Presentation contract across Seasons 9 and 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, with productions at events in Berlin, Rome, Cape Town, Misano, Jakarta and Mexico City.
What is sports presentation in an outside broadcast context?
Sports presentation covers the broadcast content surrounding a live sporting event: pre-show entertainment, athlete introductions, podium ceremonies and post-race coverage. At Formula E, Funny Hands Media delivered the full sports presentation output at each race — broadcast live to global audiences from city-centre locations around the world.
Can Funny Hands Media handle outside broadcast at non-traditional venues?
Yes. Formula E races in city centres rather than purpose-built circuits, which means our crews regularly work in environments with no broadcast infrastructure in place. We are experienced at setting up full broadcast production at locations not designed for television and have done so across four continents.
