In this Episode of the New Realities Podcast we down with John Murphy, Design Director at BBC Sport, to explore how virtual production is reshaping the future of television. Recorded at Medientage München 2025, this conversation dives deep into how modern game engines, mixed-reality sets, AR graphics, and LED volumes have transformed the BBC’s sports coverage—from Match of the Day to soccer worldcups and Olympic broadcasts. John explains how virtual studios allow the BBC to “broadcast from Tokyo” without ever leaving Manchester, why keying and camera tracking have finally become reliable, and what’s next as LED volumes become mainstream.
