In a first for CFC TV, the Blues streamed a game with vision from one camera located next to the Carlton coaches box and commentary by 3AW's Shane McInnes. Adding to the 'broadcast' were the special comments from Michael Jamison during the second and third quarters.
"We were delighted the AFL and Fox enabled us to stream the game live as it provided Carlton supporters all over the world with the opportunity to see and hear the game," said Carlton's General Manager Communications Ian Coutts.
"It was a challenge for our multimedia team as this was a first for Carlton. Combined with the location which required additional infrastructure to be brought in, it is a real credit to our multimedia team, and with the assistance of the AFL and Telstra, that the stream was such a success.
"We hope this is the start of more live streaming of Carlton training and events on CFC TV in 2012. We certainly know our multimedia team is equipped to ensure we are in a position to succeed in this area," Coutts added.
The live stream of the NAB Cup match from Maroochydore was brought to supporters by Europcar and commencing in late March Europcar will support the weekly Carlton radio podcast on the Carlton website.
