BEST IN SHOW
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) Champions vs Bellator Champions pay-per- view event – on ESPN+ PPV and DAZN – has been honoured with the Broadcast Pro ME (Middle East) award for best linear distribution.

GOING FOR GOLD
By capturing a comprehensive range of data, including medical records, training logs and sensor measurements, Performance Data Management Software gives coaches and support staff a holistic view of an athlete’s progress. It has been instrumental in Team GB’s Olympic and Paralympic success, including Emma Wiggs’ gold.
THE SOUND OF LIGHTNING
Amalie Arena, home to Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, delivers exciting fan experiences with attractions like Tesla coils, LED displays and a digital pipe organ. Known for hosting both NHL games and live performances, the arena upgraded its entertainment technology with a state-of-the- art Meyer Sound Panther system, installed by Solotech. Vinik Sports Group, Amalie Arena’s operator, first looked at enhancing the venue’s sound system in 2019. Impressed by Panther’s capabilities after visiting the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul,
Minnesota, VSG installed its own system in 2023. Composed of 96 Panther loudspeakers and complemented by Leopard, 2100- LFC, Ultra-X40 and Ultra-X20 speakers, the arena’s new audio system elevates the atmosphere with increased clarity and coverage. “One thing that we wanted to bring to our fans is, if you’re sitting on the glass or in the last row, it’s the same experience,” said Stephen Frey, director of game presentation at VSG. “This has done that for us.” The arena is also excited to explore new event content using the system’s enhanced capabilities.
