WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcast Management Group, a production management company with offices in Washington, DC, and Dallas, TX, partnered with ABC, NBC, FOX, MTV, and BET to provide coverage of the 44th Presidential Inauguration. BMG provided crews and services at locations that ranged from Capitol Hill, to the parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue, to the parties in downtown DC.
Working under tight deadlines, ever changing needs, and historically strict security protocols BMG was able to provide superior production management, multiple crews and camera types, satellite transmissions, superior access to venues and a multitude of other assets need to coordinate a production of this magnitude.
"Broadcast Management Group is proud of our association with the major television networks," said Rob Lewis, BMG's President. "The Inauguration of President Barack Obama allowed us to demonstrate our capacity to mobilize crews and accommodate multiple productions simultaneously, even in the most extreme circumstance."
The MTV Inaugural Ball (the official Youth Ball) presented just one of many challenges that BMG was able to tackle and shows why they were selected by so many networks. When MTV was selected as a ball that the newly inaugurated President would attend, BMG needed to move locations, secure more satellite time and work with increased security.
"BMG's service to MTV was fabulous," said Risa Cohen, MTV's Director of Transmission. "Their ability to secure resources and facilities not readily available during a hectic production schedule made them a valuable member of the team."
