From the Indy 500 to the NBA Finals to the Belmont Stakes, some 400 NABET-CWA members at ABC and NBC have worked to bring these great sporting events to millions.

A crew of 81 NABET-CWA members did camera and graphics work, editing, live video and audio production mixing at the ABC broadcast of the Indy 500 from Speedway, Indiana.

Flip to the Stanley Cup National Hockey League finals on NBC and NBC Sports, and NABET-CWA members were getting it done, traveling back and forth between Los Angeles and New York for five games. More than 55 members covered each round of Stanley Cup Finals too, working 94 playoff games in 16 different cities.

A crew of 56 NABET-CWA members worked the National Basketball Association Finals on ABC; they also had worked all four rounds of the playoffs -- 86 games in 16 different cities -- and throughout the regular NBA season.

The Belmont Stakes broadcast on NBC brought the highest ratings for the third jewel of the Triple Crown since 2004. The 110 person NABET-CWA, which also covers Sunday Night Football, worked all three Triple Crown events this year.

It took 108 NABET-CWA members to cover the men's and women's U.S. Open Golf Championships, broadcast on NBC and ESPN. For the first time ever, the two tournaments were broadcast back to back on the same course in Pinehurst, N.C. The crew was on the air for 34 hours this year.
