MATCHDAY LIVE
Interested in sports journalism and broadcasting? This unique project offers students the opportunity to broadcast MMU BUCS sports games weekly. The Manchester Met sports live stream show was launched two years ago at the university’s Platt Lane Sports Hub in Rusholme.
The team has built a sector-leading broadcast system from scratch, featuring remotely-operated cameras indoors and outdoors, providing live coverage of university sports teams playing football, rugby, basketball, volleyball, netball, lacrosse, and futsal.
The show is broadcast live from a dedicated studio, created by student volunteer presenters, commentators, producers, camera operators, sound and vision mixers, marketing assistants, and more.
Students earn Rise points for the hours they volunteer and receive recognition for the skills they develop. The season starts on Wednesday 9 October, with shows coming from Platt Lane. Email S.Heitzman@mmu.ac.uk to register your interest.
