Question 1

How much does traditional sports broadcast graphics cost?

Accepted Answer

Traditional sports broadcast graphics typically cost $50,000–$200,000+ per season when you factor in operator wages ($100–$300 per match), graphics software licences ($200–$5,000/month), and hardware investment ($5,000–$100,000+ depreciated over 3 years). The biggest cost driver is usually staff — needing 1–3 trained operators per match.

Question 2

Can LIGR really replace broadcast graphics operators?

Yes. LIGR's Game Plans automation system connects to live data feeds (Sportradar, manual scoring) and triggers all graphics automatically — scoreboards, lower thirds, match stats, sponsor overlays — without any human operator. Football Australia uses LIGR to automate 4,000+ matches per season with zero operators.

Question 3
