The MLB-produced broadcasts of Brewers games on TV this season have \u201cfeatured new technological innovations,\u201d according to JR Radcliffe of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Those include \u201cdrone shots outside American Family Field,\u201d a \u201cdirt camera right in front of home plate and a look inside the dugout where a remote camera operator follows players through a gauntlet of high-fives.\u201d On April 30, the Brewers debuted an \u201cindoor drone,\u201d and starting May 8, the club will \u201cuse an umpire camera.\u201d MLB Local Media Exec Producer Doug Johnson said, \u201cThe Brewers are the star pupils of everything for this technology. We don\u2019t have another club that\u2019s got all the stuff that they\u2019re using right now.\u201d Radcliffe noted all 14 clubs under MLB\u2019s broadcasting purview are using a \u201cwire cam,\u201d which provides \u201coverhead shots from the field.\u201d But the Brewers are \u201conly one of three using the drone cam and the only one to use those two in addition to a dirt cam and the remote-frequency cameras.\u201d For Brewers President Rick Schlesinger, it means \u201cfronting the cost of the innovation before he can find a sponsorship for that specific part of the broadcast, but he expects to get there eventually.\u201d It is a new situation for the Brewers in 2026, \u201cnow in charge of their own broadcasts and selling the advertising that comes with it.\u201d Schlesinger insisted that the Brewers have \u201csold twice as many DTC subscriptions as last year,\u201d when the Brewers were broadcast by FanDuel Sports Wisconsin (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 5\/1<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The MLB-produced broadcasts of Brewers games on TV this season have \u201cfeatured new technological innovations,\u201d according to JR…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,134,591,85],"class_list":["post-649441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
