Sports Broadcasting Solutions For Budding Stars and Big Names
We were the guys who were constantly refreshing the ESPN score app because our favorite teams didn’t get televised.. We were the guys who talked tactics, stats, and rankings all day long. We were the guys who were super hyped to watch a D3 match.
And now we’re the guys who’ll help you take the sport you love to the next level.
What Do I Get With Your Sports Broadcasting Solutions?
Included with every package, you’ll get:
- A professional broadcast from start to finish with expert commentary
- Direct & indirect advertising on our social media channels
- Point number three here
And you can add our trick shots for something truly special:
- Appear & be interviewed on our podcast network
- On-site filming & coverage
- Event MCing
- An on-site media day or live social media coverage of your event
- A banner on the homepage of Cracked Racquets & link to your event
Before Game Day:
Drop us an email and tell us all about your next event. We’ll respond within 24 hours with a proposal where you select the option that suits you best. We normally offer two to three options:
1. Tailored Packages
We cover the things that matter most to you and recommend a custom solution based on the athlete or competition coverage needed.
2. Cross Cast
Think NFL Red Zone but for your sport. We’ll capture the biggest moments, the points that make you gasp, and tell the best story. We can handle as many matches or sites as you need. Our current record is 18.
3. Individual Court
Every point, break, ace, basket, spike, serve, twist & turn on a single court.
We’ll hop on a call to chat through any questions and get your contract signed. We’ll then assess your needs and determine the best setup for you. We’ll talk about streaming providers, cameras, live scoring, and all the event details. If there are any gaps, we’ll put you in touch with our favorite partners to get you kitted out.
On the Day:
We take care of everything. Turn on the cameras and live scoring software, and we take care of the rest. We’ll coordinate and produce everything, creating a high-quality sports broadcast.
Our Clients Say We Knock It Out Of The Park
“An Unmatched Viewing Experience”
Up until this year, the D3 tennis championship had very little coverage. Cracked Media changed this by broadcasting the entire 2024-25 championship and providing an unmatched viewing experience. Here’s what X the Case Western Head Coach said about the experience:
“The decision to utilize Cracked Racquets was an incredible game-changer for all those that were unable to travel to the championships. The viewing experience and media coverage was unmatched to any other year of this tournament and truly made our student athletes and their families feel incredibly special.”
– Todd Wojtkowski, Case Western Reserve Head Tennis Coach
Aceing volleyball coverage
Indiana University’s Women’s Volleyball had no broadcasting coverage. Three weeks later the Cracked team are remotely broadcasting live volleyball coverage on ESPN with pro commentators, graphics, scoring & on-screen stats.
“The Cracked Volleyball team provided their CrossCourt Cast remote broadcasting solution for coverage of our Women’s Volleyball team on ESPN+ last Fall. They not only were easy to work with, but solved every technical issue that arose during the season. We recommend them to any school looking for outstanding volleyball coverage!”
– Luke Bosso, Indiana University Indy, Director of Athletics
“The decision to utilize Cracked Racquets was an incredible game-changer for all those that were unable to travel to the championships. The viewing experience and media coverage was unmatched to any other year of this tournament and truly made our student athletes and their families feel incredibly special.”
– Todd Wojtkowski, Case Western Reserve Head Tennis Coach
What Do I Get When You Host An Event?
- An MC for the whole event, including ad reads, player intros, hosting award ceremonies, DJing, crowd work during changeovers
- Host sponsor panels & events
- Media Day with one of our team on-site, recording live audio & video interviews, promotion on our podcasts and social media channels
- Our team’s charisma & encyclopedic knowledge who bring a contagious excitement with them
We Even Make Pro Tennis Players’ Dreams Come True
We worked with Dave Emkey and Ryan Knarr to broadcast Ellesse Pro and it went well. In fact, Sports Center Top 10 showed one of the trick shots from our event. Because of the relationship and trust built through this event, when they were asked to organize an event for a grandslam winner, they asked us if we’d broadcast it. The result was Madison Keys’ Court of Dreams event, broadcast from a cornfield in the middle of Iowa, pulling off a professional broadcast in technically challenging conditions, hosting a mental health panel, and giving Keys’ charity, Kindness Wins, a bigger platform.
Here’s what Dave Emkey said about it:
“This team has been instrumental in elevating our event the past two years! They put countless hours into each day….first on site, last to leave and just as energetic. I am 100% positive it would not be what it is
without them.”

What Do You Mean You Won’t Be On-Site? How Will it Work?
We can absolutely provide on-site sports broadcasting solutions. But we don’t need to most of the time. We can provide the high-quality streaming you expect while controlling everything remotely. Cool, right?

Pretty much none. All you have to do is switch on the cameras. We do everything else from start to finish.
Where Will My Event Be Broadcast?
We broadcast to our YouTube channels by default, but can also broadcast on ESPN+ or your own website.
What’s the Turnaround Time for Video Production?
The turnaround time is normally between 1 and 4 weeks post-filming, depending on the size and scope of the project.
