The advantages of broadcasting Champions League on-site

Finally, in a call this week with US journalists, Abdo shared her thoughts about covering the game in France.

“One of the best broadcasts we’ve probably done as a CBS family was the Concacaf Nations League Final in Denver,” explained Abdo. “And that was just because we were in the middle of the stadium. We had an incredible position, and energy because it was Mexico against United States — the fanbases were all there.

“As a Champions League team, we only really got to do it once where we took the main studio where Jamie, Peter and I went to the Atalanta game [in Bergamo]. As a live broadcast, you always feed off that energy differently. So I’m super excited [about broadcasting the Champions League Final on TV from Stade de France].”
