Sekai Yu-Yu

Longest Continuous Live event Ever

NHK’s culture and travel program Sekai-YuYu (Leisurely Travel) is a days-long intercontinental live production in the television world.  
When BBA coordinated the production of this program in Turkey, it took some 70 Japanese and 50 Turkish production crew members, working for more than ten days to beam Sekai-YuYu from four different locations in Turkey simultaneously to Japan.

Some 150 Japanese and Turkish television producers, cameramen, technicians joined together in Turkey to beam the three-day, 18-hour live program to Japan where it was watched by an audience of 20 million. The program was shot at six different locations including Mt.Ararat, Cappadocia, Topkapi Palace and the Bosporus in Istanbul and transmitted live to Japan.

Five mobile uplinks, five land links, 15 cameras, nearly 7 kilometers of triax cabling and ten mobile generators were used in the production of Sekai Yu-Yu from Turkey among other innumerable equipment.

The whole operation went without a hitch!
