In 2024, we were part of regular projects, but we were also invited to participate in some projects that we had not done for a long time. Among the regular events, we must especially highlight our participation in Niké Liga matches.

Niké Liga

In the first half of 2024, we were present at all television broadcasts that were on DajTo and Nova Sport. In the spring part of the Niké Liga, we were present at 20 matches in the relegation group and also in the title group. And we also participated in the Niké Liga relegation/delegation matches, where we participated in two clashes with our graphics.

The new season of the Niké Liga started in August. Like every year, we had to upgrade graphics and fill databases before the start of the season. The last weeks before the start of the league are usually more difficult, because team rosters are constantly changing and we want to be 100% ready by the start of the season. In the 2024/2025 season, only one television broadcast will be broadcasted each week – on DajTo station. However, we are also present on the Voyo Match of the Week, where we graphically cover not only the match, but also the entire studio – before the match, during the break and after the match. In the matches that are broadcasted on DajTo station, we regularly insert graphically “interesting facts” about the given match, which are provided to us by Niké Liga. In the autumn part of the new season, we attended 36 matches – 18 for Dajto, 18 for Voyo. We greatly appreciate the cooperation with the Niké Liga and are happy to be part of our highest football league.

Our cup contenders

Like every year, this year we were also present at the qualification of our teams for European competitions. Four of our teams have tried to get into the most prestigious European leagues - Slovan Bratislava, MFK Ružomberok, Spartak Trnava and Dunajská Streda. Altogether we were present at 11 qualifying matches. Slovan Bratislava made it to the Champions League. We covered the first three qualifying rounds for the Champions League graphically. The play-offs for the Champions League have been broadcasted by foreign production, so we were not present. Ružomberok played 4 matches, which ended just before the doors of the Conference League. We were present at all matches. Dunajská Streda did less well, as they were eliminated in the second qualifying round, and Spartak Trnava also played two home matches with our participation. In many of these matches, in addition to the graphics for the match and therefore the international feed, we have also provided graphics for the STVR studio. These broadcasts are great addition to the summer, and despite the time-consuming task of preparing the databases and graphics for the broadcasts, we hope to continue participating in them for many years to come.

The Fiba Basketball

STVR also used our graphic services for basketball. If the football qualifying matches were a pleasant change in the summer, then basketball at the European level was definitely a pleasant production in the fall. As usual, we also provided graphics for the international signal and for the STVR studio for these productions. For this project, we had to prepare a completely new graphic visual, which is made by FIBA. This season we had two representatives in this league – Prievidza and Levice. Both teams represented Slovak basketball at a high level, but in the strong competition neither team was able to advance to the next phase. Both teams finished in second place in their groups and therefor missed out the next phase. We graphically covered 3 home matches of one team and 3 home matches of the other. In total, we collaborated on the production of 6 matches.

A brief hockey return

The Continental Hockey Cup, which was played in Žilina, was at least a temporary return to hockey matches for us. Since our highest hockey league is broadcasted by JOJ Šport for the second season in a row, we are no longer involved in hockey graphics. The Continental Cup was a challenge for us because we had not produced hockey for a long time and also because it was an international tournament. However, the three matches broadcasted in three days proved that we can participate in hockey at a high level. In addition to match graphics, we also covered the studio and we also covered this match statistically. The broadcasts from these matches met a high standard in all respects. We are glad that we were able to participate in this project and prove that hockey can be broadcast in a high-quality manner.

Other, no less important productions

During the year, there are some productions that are not periodic, but at the end they are very important to us. We are pleased that producers use our services even for broadcasts and sports that are not made "every day" and it shows us their trust in us. These broadcasts include, for example, the Banskobystrická latka. The biggest athletics event in Slovakia, which we always like to participate in. The matches of the Slovak national football team under the supervision of UEFA are also part of our portfolio. These are demanding broadcasts that we can handle professionally. In 2024, we also participated in the flat track race in Žarnovica, which is a unique event by Slovak standards. Among the unique events, we must not forget the International Peace Marathon in Košice, which we regularly participate in. Our favorite projects also include the Niké Liga project - Nike League in the Village. Last year, the match Bošany - Žabokreky was broadcasted. We must also not forget the broadcast Farmárska revue. This event, which is broadcast live, is an annual variety and deviation from the world of sports. We are also pleased with our return to the racetracks. After two seasons, we again participated in the production of the signal from our largest horse racing races. Despite the short break, we managed to do our job and we believe that we will be producing the races next year as well. From less frequent broadcasts, we must also mention the production of the tennis tournament from Bratislava, where we always like to return.

The year 2024 was a year of many typical and atypical productions. We believe that the next year will bring us many positive things and many more interesting projects. Every broadcast we have been part of was unique to us and we put our best into it. We approach each production with the utmost professionalism and do not make any distinctions between them. We believe that next year will bring us many more projects and many satisfied viewers.
