Martin Čehulić, CTO and Head of Production at FNC, reveals how the company designed and deployed its first OB van using the latest production systems from Blackmagic Design.
Established in 2019, the Fight Nation Championship (FNC) is a leading mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation in southeastern Europe. With a focus on showcasing the best local and emerging talent, its events are hosted at arenas across the region, including: Arena Zagreb and Arena Pula, in Croatia; Arena Stozice in Ljubljana, Slovenia; and the Beogradska Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.
Each event is broadcast via FNC’s dedicated pay-per-view (PPV) platform, FNC.tv, with coverage additionally distributed via SVOD platform Voyo. Replays of the events are carried by RTL 2 TV in Croatia, which is owned by regional broadcaster Central European Media Enterprises (CME).
