CBS's Sean McManus prepped to produce 'biggest show on TV' Published: Jan 31, 2019 at 12:43 PM Ed Sherman NFL.com Contributing Writer It seems so primitive now. CBS used only 11 cameras for its coverage of I in 1967. The pregame show was a mere 30 minutes. Indeed, coverage has exploded exponentially since 1967. And it even has grown considerably since 2001 when Sean McManus oversaw his first as president of CBS. "The event has gotten bigger and bigger," said McManus, who now carries the title of chairman of CBS Sports. CBS will blanket its coverage of LIII with 115 cameras, quite an increase from 11 in I. That modest pregame show for the first game now has morphed into a highly-produced four-hour spectacular known as . What hasn't changed, McManus says, is the pre sure he feels prior to telecasting a on CBS. If anything, it only has intensified, even though this will be the seventh under his command. "The pre sure gets more intense with each one of these I do," McManus said. "Social media plays into that. There is immediate feedback, and a lot of it is negative. Everyone is paying attention to your announcers, your coverage of the game. If there is a controversial play, like there was in the AFC Championship Game, they want to know CBS has the definitive crystal-clear look." The Coty Sensabaugh Jersey pre sure is there because the reward is so great. Being the network means virtually the entire country will be watching CBS on Sunday. "It's the biggest show on TV," McManus said. "Nothing approaches the rating we will generate for the game. There's a lot of pre sure but also a great opportunity and incredible showcase for the entire CBS corporation." As usual for a , CBS will be rolling out all the latest tech gizmos. This will be CBS' William Gay Jersey 20th telecast, the most for any network. For the first time ever on any network at a live sporting event, CBS' virtual plan includes the use of a live, wirele s handheld camera showing augmented reality graphics and up-close camera tracking on the field. This will allow the camera to get closer to these virtual graphics in a way that gives viewers different perspectives and angles including never-before-seen field level views of these graphics. CBS will utilize four cameras (including the SkyCam) with live augmented reality graphics, plus an additional 10 cameras with trackable first down line technology. In all, CBS says there will be 14 cameras creating virtual graphic elements "that are completely manufactured and will seamle sly blend in to the real environment of the broadcast." Also, in another first, CBS will use multiple 8K cameras with a unique engineering solution to provide viewers with even more dramatic close-up views of the action from the end zone, including po sible game-changing plays along the goal lines and end lines. Yet at the end of the day for all technology and hoopla, McManus says it still comes down to televising a football game. "You try to put all the hype and bigne s behind you when you kick off the game," McManus said. "It's a football game. As we saw in the AFC Championship Game, if your crew is ready and you've done all the preparation you can, you can come up with a terrific broadcast." Wise advice: Jim Nantz, who will be calling his fifth , always recalls advice he received from Jack Whitaker prior to doing his first big game in 2007; Whitaker and Ray Scott shared play-by-play duties for CBS for I. Whitaker told Nantz to "be ready for the opening kickoff." Sure enough, the ' Devin Hester stunned the by returning the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown in XLI. Thanks to Whitaker's advice, Nantz was prepared for the moment. "I took that advice not only in the literal sense, but be ready because you never know what's going to happen," Nantz said. "You never know if the next snap is going to be the play that is going be the game-changer or be one of the iconic plays in the history of the ."
