LONDON: UK sports-focused production outfit Whisper has been appointed as the production partner for the 2023 and 2024 editions of Wimbledon, staged at The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC).
The extensive contract sees Whisper, in which Sony Pictures Television holds a minority stake, set to produce the world feed, international highlights, a creative preview film and an official film of Wimbledon.
In addition, Whisper has been tasked to generate a pool of content for the AELTC. Whisper and Wimbledon Broadcast Services (WBS) are already working together on plans for the upcoming tournament.
Whisper’s ability to deliver impactful content around a sports tournament was demonstrated last year as it delivered the historic UEFA Women’s EURO with the BBC and was host broadcaster for the delayed RLWC2021, both achieving record-breaking audiences.
In 2022, Whisper worked with the LTA, delivering digital content to broaden the appeal of the sport, including a series with double-amputee racer Billy Monger promoting wheelchair tennis and content with Andy Murray.
Whisper works on many top-level sports and is also UEFA’s broadcast and digital content production partner.
