The deal will see Broadcast Rental stock and support FingerWorks systems locally, streamlining deployments for live sports productions across the region

FingerWorks Telestrators

FingerWorks Telestrators has partnered with Broadcast Rental to expands FingerWorks’s rental and support capabilities throughout the UK and mainland Europe.

The partnership makes the telestration systems more readily available for sports broadcasters covering live events across the region. Broadcast Rental opened a UK office in London earlier this year.

Through the partnership, Broadcast Rental will stock FingerWorks systems in the UK and mainland EU while providing local logistics, technical support and engineering expertise.

The collaboration will simplify deployments for international productions while helping broadcasters access FingerWorks’ telestration technology on a flexible rental basis.

FingerWorks is used in an assortment of European productions, including coverage of Roland Garros, Wimbledon, NFL International Games, Professional Fighters League (PFL) events and major golf tournaments.

The partnership opens new opportunities to introduce FingerWorks’s telestration technology to additional European broadcasters, leagues and production companies. 

“Europe has become an increasingly important market for FingerWorks, and having equipment and local support through Broadcast Rental allows us to better serve the productions we’re already supporting, while also creating opportunities to expand into new projects,” said Bryan McKoen, owner of FingerWorks Telestrators. “With inventory both based in the UK and mainland EU, we’re able to simplify logistics, reduce shipping time and costs, and provide customers with the responsive support they expect during live events. Broadcast Rental shares our customer-first philosophy, making them an ideal partner as we continue to grow internationally.”

“We’re excited to bring FingerWorks into our rental portfolio,” adds Matt Coyde, managing director, Broadcast Rental UK. “Their telestration platform is widely respected by broadcasters covering major sporting events, and this partnership allows customers throughout Europe to access the technology quickly and easily. Because we operate as a specialist rental company with engineering support, we can provide not only the equipment but also the expertise needed to ensure successful deployments.”
