Professional Bull Riders Names EPIC as ‘Official POV Camera’
OutdoorHub 02.09.12
The Professional Bull Riders announced that they have reached an agreement with Stealth Cam’s EPIC Cameras, to be the Official POV Camera of the PBR.
EPIC footage is regularly featured in PBR television broadcasts on CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBC, and NBC Sports Network as well as in the Live Event Center on the PBR website at www.PBR.com. EPIC cameras are also being used by the members of the Ford Invasion to chronicle their travels across the United States, and for weekly features and updates on the Dickies® DuraBullfighters.
“The PBR is a unique sport, and we are constantly looking for innovative ways to enhance our coverage,” said PBR CEO Jim Haworth. “EPIC POV Cameras allow us to give our fans a different perspective of our sport, including a ground-level view from cameras buried in the dirt. The willingness of EPIC to use the versatility of their product to enhance what we can offer to our fans makes this a great partnership.”
“The PBR circuit is an ideal arena in which to put the EPIC to good use (or abuse),” said Doug Mann, VP of Marketing for EPIC. “The challenges, excitement and rugged nature of the sport are all captured from the unique perspective that can only be captured using an EPIC POV Camera.”
The BFTS is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBC, NBC Sports Network, and YouTube. BFTS telecasts are produced for the PBR under a multi-year agreement with David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 34-time Emmy® Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer.
