ANC Sports Forms Three-Year Signage Partnership with StarGames
The Caesars Tribute II: A Salute to the Ladies of the Ice to Feature Event-Side LED Signage on NBC on New Year’s Day.
(Purchase, NY December 29, 2011) – ANC Sports Enterprises announced a three year partnership to provide LED Event Perimeter Signage to StarGames’ annual Tribute Ice Skating Event and professional tennis exhibitions. ANC worked with StarGames to introduce the technology to figure skating during The Caesars Tribute presented by Colgate Total®: A Salute to the Golden Age of American Skating in 2010. The companies paired up again in 2011 to debut the signage for a U.S. based professional tennis event during the BNP Paribas Showdown at Madison Square Garden.
"We are committed to providing our corporate partners with the most advanced technologies to enhance their brands while creating dynamic broadcasts for viewers," said Jerry Solomon, President and CEO of StarGames. "We are looking forward to expanding our partnership with ANC Sports to develop innovative and entertaining events over the next three years."
The Caesars Tribute II: A Salute to the Ladies of the Ice will be broadcast on NBC on January 1, 2012 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm Eastern. The event, which was taped on December 3rd at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, will feature 225 feet of 22mm Diamond Vision™ LED signage separated into two sections of 112.5 feet. ANC will place one section on either side of the ice to ensure event partners and skaters are highlighted from multiple camera angles.
The broadcast will feature international skating icons which include the current world champion Miki Ando and past medalists and champions such as Sarah Hughes, Irina Slutskaya, Nancy Kerrigan, Tara Lipinski, Yuka Sato, Joannie Rochette, Sasha Cohen, Nicole Bobek, Shizuka Arakawa, and Liz Manley.
