56 - Michael Connelly, SVP/EP, Fox Sports Regional Networks

What is the duty of a regional sports network? Is it to broadcast the games of the professional sports teams in a given market, or do the responsibilities extend beyond that into the local communities? Fox Sports Regional Networks showed where they stand on the topic last Saturday as Fox Sports North produced Hockey Day Minnesota and Fox Sports Indiana presented Basketball Day Indiana. Both featured a full day of high school, college, and professional sports, some of which from exceptionally unique locations. On this episode of The SVG Podcast, we're on Lake Bemidji at Hockey Day Minnesota catching up with Michael Connelly, SVP and Executive Producer of all of the Fox Sports Regional Networks to talk about the latest tech he has his eye on and what's the latest in production and operations at all of the 22 RSNs he helps oversee. The SVG Podcast is for the sports-video–production professional looking to keep up with the latest in sports-video–production operations and technology. The program features interviews with some of the biggest, most influential names in the sports-video business talking trends and topics that are making an impact on the industry.
