Cloudbass OB

We’re delighted that our IT apprentice Jack Robinson has passed his Information Communications Technician (Support Technician): Level 3" apprenticeship with Distinction. It was awarded by the @IfATE (Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education). We’re so proud of him

We’re back at RSPB Arne, providing full onsite facilities, one last time. Working with the BBC Natural History Unit, our team supports OB, edit & wildlife crews in this 24/7 operation, delivering: - 4 live shows on BBC 2 - 12 hours of daily live streaming Nature at its best!

Over the last week, our teams have been working diligently to produce an impressive series of back-to-back broadcasts nationwide, featuring numerous standout moments. From football to bowls and from rugby to snooker.

It’s been a significant week for political OBs with us covering the Mayoral Debates in Manchester, Birmingham and Tottenham, @bbcdebatenight in Aberdeen & @bbcquestiontime in Tottenham. And it was great that we had an all female guarantee crew for Question Time. @MentornMedia

We had great time in Navarra, Spain for the British Superbikes 2024. We provided full track coverage, RF, GFX, web streams and race control integration. And also the first running of EVS Xeebra as VAR for race control. @EVSEquipment

It was such a great night at @wembleystadium with England v Sweden for the Women’s Euro Qualifier for @ITV sport and also at the European Professional Club Rugby Challenge Cup, for @viaplay. And we have a packed weekend of sport OBs.

We’ve had a busy week so far, with some great jobs including: the UEFA European Qualifier - Wales v Poland for Rondo Media, UEFA Women’s Champions League match - Chelsea v AFC Ajax for @DAZN and the international friendly, Scotland v Northern Ireland for @Viaplay

We had some great jobs over the last few days including the Spain vs Columbia match at the London Stadium and the Trust Trophy Cup Final - Falkirk vs The New Saints for @sunsetandvine and Rondo. Thank you to all the team.

We wish Maggie Mutch, Production Manager, all the best in her retirement. It's been great working with her from the beginning on @bbcdebatenight & over the last five years, on @BBC @bbcquestiontime & the @bbcbigquestions. Good to be in Stirling, last night for @MentornMedia

It was great to be in Inverness at the magnificent Town House on budget day last night for Mentorn Media. Always good to play our part for @BBCdebatenight. #outsidebroadcast #television #debate

This week @bbcquestiontime was at @UniofNottingham so we didn’t have far to travel from our East Midlands HQ. We are privileged to have been providing OB services to the show since 2012. As always, it’s great to be working with @MentornMedia on the lively debate show.

Last week, we covered a number of great SPFL jobs including the SPFL Trust Trophy, Falkirk v The New Saints for @sunsetandvine.  And also in Scotland, we worked on the two excellent political debate shows, Debate Night in Stirling and Question time in Glasgow for @mentornMedia.

We had the privilege of hosting a day for @stevechalles, who is a real OB enthusiast and fantastic photographer. Over many years, Steve has been a valuable friend to the industry and has provided numerous quality photographs that have captured the diverse range of OB work.

It's always a pleasure working for @MentornMedia Scotland on @BBC's flagship political programme Question Time. This week we were in Gillingham. See you next week in Glasgow. #outsidebroadcast # #television #debate

Lovely day visiting the #Cloudbass OB base in Ripley, Derbyshire - thanks to all the team for their very warm welcome. Good to understand all the activity after a very busy week of OBs and great to learn more of Cloudbass’s success and approach. #outsidebroadcast @cloudbass

Winterwatch at RSPB Arne has returned to full onsite production, with us providing the facilities to accommodate OB, Edit & Wildlife crews. Working with BBC Natural History Unit the 24/7 operation delivers 4 live BBC2 & 4 ‘Watch Out’ Digital shows & 12 hours of daily streaming.
