Tour de France 2023: Live Broadcasting with Cuez by Vive Le Vélo
Ecaterina Caprari · July 31, 2023 · Sports Broadcasting
In light of the 110th edition of the Tour de France 2023, we revisit our amazing interview with Thomas Swannet — editor-in-chief of ‘Vive le vélo’ about his experience using TinkerList, i.e. Cuez Platform when following the cyclists across France and live broadcasting the Tour de France.
Each year during July, Karl Vannieuwkerke and his team travel along the tracks of the ‘Tour de France’ to follow this well-known cycle race in a daily talk show: ‘Vive le vélo’. ‘Vive le vélo’ was first produced in 2005 and has grown into one of Belgium’s most successful sports talk shows, with up to 1 million daily viewers during summer.
With a daily travelling schedule (often through the mountains with a whole convoy of trucks and equipment), building up a set, doing research, inviting guests, live broadcasting the show, breaking down the set, getting some sleep, and travelling back, the production of ‘Vive le vélo’ is quite a rollercoaster. Therefore, we met up with long-time showrunner: Thomas Swannet to get answers to all our questions.
““We make it a point of honour to really bring a piece of France into the Belgian living room as beautiful as possible.“ – Thomas Swannet — Editor-in-chief ‘Vive le vélo‘
