GO plc said today that it is investing further in its core TV infrastructure in view of the added requirements resulting from the transmission of the English Premier League and Italian Serie A as from the next football season. This investment will allow GO to broadcast simultaneously six live events, including football matches from the English and Italian leagues.

The upgrade works will take place in GO's TV operations facilities at the Maghtab headend, and will include a new playout system which will mean that the company can receive and record up to 10 simultaneous live feeds, while being able to transmit to the customers' homes six of the 10 live feeds.

GO said that it is also upgrading its playout operations centre at the Maghtab headend in order to ensure that the company's TV team will be able to monitor and direct all transmissions effectively. An audio studio is being set up within the TV operations centre to cater for live commentary during football matches and other sports events.
