Best Coverage of Sport by an Organisation - Broadcast Media
0:00:04.529,0:00:07.540
And the winner is not Gerard Whateley, it
goes to SBS for Cycling
0:00:07.540,0:00:14.540
Please welcome to the stage Stuart Randall,
supervising producer of SBS to collect the
0:00:24.989,0:00:31.989
Awards, there you are, oh Mike...
Look, um, I think this is an Award for 21
0:00:34.059,0:00:40.870
years of coverage we’ve shown cycling on
SBS for that number of years. Back in the
0:00:40.870,0:00:46.329
early days literally no one was watching cycling,
I can tell you that for a fact, and in the
0:00:46.329,0:00:52.230
last five years sponsors were not necessarily
clambering over each other to be a part of
0:00:52.230,0:00:56.539
our coverage, but things have really changed
over the last five years particularly thanks
0:00:56.539,0:01:03.019
to again Cadel. It’s all part of drive from
management, from managers who have come and
0:01:03.019,0:01:08.619
gone, managing directors like Sean Brown,
Michael Ebeide the current managing director,
0:01:08.619,0:01:14.579
people like Ken Ship the head of sport who
has really driven the message home that cycling
0:01:14.579,0:01:21.579
is a very important sport and also the workers,
Noel Brady, Stuart Randall, Mark Falahey who
0:01:21.990,0:01:27.360
I describe him as the Steven Spielberg of
our coverage, he gives us the look, he is
0:01:27.360,0:01:33.119
the eyes and ears of our coverage. Claire
Nance, and also David McKenzie, I have probably
0:01:33.119,0:01:37.200
forgotten a few but we’ve extended our coverage
over the years not just from providing half
0:01:37.200,0:01:42.409
hour of highlights everyday during the Tour
de France, but beyond that with our online
0:01:42.409,0:01:48.130
coverage, I can’t think what else but we
do a hell of a lot for a small team. We are
0:01:48.130,0:01:53.439
very very proud, we love this, we love what
we do and may the traditions continue. I can
0:01:53.439,0:02:00.060
tell you that we’ve got the Tour de France
coverage until 2017 but beyond that we’ve
0:02:00.060,0:02:04.259
taken the sport to another level, we have
proven to Australian audiences that there
0:02:04.259,0:02:09.280
is more to sport, live sport than ALF, NRL
and Cricket. There is a beautiful sport out
0:02:09.280,0:02:15.170
there called cycling and it seems like everybody’s
sucked in and watching it. Thank you.
