What profession, other than firemen and garbage men, encourages you to hang off the back of a random moving vehicle? Even those professions don’t allow you to sit backwards on a motorcycle and point a camera at hoards of running fanatics.

Providing live event coverage over a grueling 26-mile course can prove challenging. RF Central, LLC, out of Carlisle, PA, has demonstrated that these broadcasts can be accomplished with flawless precision.

The 29th Annual LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon took place on October 22, 2006 and was broadcast live on WBBM Chicago (CBS 2). With RF Central’s state-of-the-art technology and Total RF’s production expertise, continuous live coverage was delivered along the entire course.

The use of maximum ratio-combining technology (six antenna inputs per receiver) provided an unblemished broadcast throughout the route without the use of relay helicopters.

Total RF and RF Central supplied 52 technicians and production specialists for the 2006 ING New York City Marathon on November 5, 2006. Six on-course vehicles and two airborne stabilized camera systems transmitted live footage using RF Central’s diversity receivers and camera-mount transmitters for broadcast on WNBC New York.
