A couple of weeks ago I interviewed Peter Sumpf, Vice President of Network Operations for the Outdoor Life Network, on how OLN brings the Tour de France to Viewers in North America. When the interview was over I thought to myself that it would be great if someone took some photos of OLN’s broadcast facilities at the Tour de France, so that readers in search of behind the scenes info about OLN would be able to put all of the pieces together.
Earlier today I found a couple of articles by Alex Trautwig (son of OLN anchorman Al Trautwig) that provide a glimpse of OLN’s facilities at the Tour de France Arrival Village. These articles are:
“The OLN Truck” article is more enlightening than the article about the media compound. The photos in it that give those of us who are back in the U.S. some idea of how large the mobile studio is and how it’s typically setup. Readers have asked Alex to post more photos, but he’s the blogger that’s done the best job of getting inside the OLN facilities so far.
