CP Communications once again brought its live sports production expertise to the MLB All-Star Game weekend of events, with 30 crew members supporting 11 shows and eight clients from several venues in Seattle July 8-11. In addition to the MLB All-Star Game at T-Mobile Park on July 11, the CP Communications team provided RF equipment solutions and technical support services for the MLB Futures Game and Celebrity Softball Game at T-Mobile Park (both July 8), the MLB Draft at Lumen Field on July 9, and the MLB Home Run Derby event at T-Mobile Park on July 10.

The trust built across CP Communications and their various clients resonates to the point where they now often share certain frequencies with each other. “The MLB Network wanted to mic 20 players during one event on Saturday, and there simply weren’t enough frequencies left to assign,” said Sherman. “As some other broadcasters were not producing events at the time, we developed a plan where clients could access a database that displayed available frequencies assigned to other clients that they could temporarily borrow. That reduced a lot of headaches for everyone involved and demonstrated the trust that we have helped to build through years of strong customer service.”

“All these years in, it’s tried-and-true when it comes to CP Communications and the MLB All-Star Game,” Segarra added. “There are always problems to solve for both new and familiar challenges, but it’s the collaborative spirit between everyone involved that brings everything together in the moment.”
