WORLD FEED NOTES
WHAT IS THE WORLD FEED OF THE SUPER BOWL?
The term “World Feed” refers to a telecast of the Super Bowl provided international broadcasters for worldwide distribution. The World Feed is produced to remove elements of the U.S. network broadcast that are not relevant to international audiences. These elements include: U.S. Commercials On-camera appearances of network commentators and field reporters Graphic promos for network programs (sitcoms, mini series, etc.) Promo endorsements for the blimp (Bridgestone, Coors, etc.)
HOW IS THE WORLD FEED PRODUCED?
A combination of cameras provides coverage: the U.S. TV network cameras as well as exclusively World Feed cameras.
The World Feed will have its own commentators; they will not be on-camera. The Host Network logos and graphics are replaced by NFL logos and graphics, and the World Feed will have a NON-sponsored first down line. NFL Films distributes this telecast (World Feed) to international broadcasters.
Upon receiving the World Feed, most broadcasters customize the program with their own elements, i.e. foreign language commentary, commercials, commentator on-cameras, feature stories, etc. NFL Films is dedicated to assisting each broadcaster with the technical and creative aspects of this customization.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS?
During the network commercial breaks, the World Feed provides coverage which may consist of features, promotional pieces, replays, game highlights, or beauty shots. There are 28 commercial breaks at 1:30 each, with an additional "floater" used at the discretion of the U.S. network (NBC). The following page shows a preliminary break format.
***Please note: the content of each break cannot be confirmed until January. Updated formats will be provided upon request; you can also access them through the internet at www.nflmedia.com.
Throughout the game, the World Feed A.D. will count in and out of commercial breaks to allow broadcasters to insert their own content.
