During major global sports events, the French sports media group L’Équipe relied on Holovox, BCE’s remote commentary solution, to produce its “Salon Tactique” (Tactical Talk Show). This digital program dedicated to in-depth match analysis brings together journalists and former professional athletes in a 45-minute show to deliver pre- and post-match insights through analysis, as BCE has claimed in a statement.

L’Équipe streams its talk shows across multiple platforms, including L’Équipe’s website, YouTube and Dailymotion. The format aims to leverage tactical breakdowns, annotated visuals and replays to try to create a more interactive and accessible viewing experience across digital platforms.

The first “Salon Tactique” (Tactical Talk Show) was deployed at scale during the FIFA World Cup 2022, producing daily shows throughout the tournament and covering the tournament’s talking points and moments.

Since then, the format has been extended across major rugby events, including the Rugby World Cup 2023, Six Nations tournaments and international test matches between 2023 and 2025. Most recently, the format was used during the 2026 Six Nations Tournament on February 1st and March 16th.

At the core of this setup, Holovox was implemented with the intention of enabling a fully remote, lightweight and flexible production workflow. Originally designed for remote commentary, the solution is repurposed as a complete remote production tool.

For L’Équipe, the challenge was to produce frequent, high-quality analysis shows without relying on traditional studio setups or large crews. Holovox enables cost-efficient production without a TV studio or control room, reducing the need for production teams, while allowing rapid setup and flexible, rapid turnaround scheduling.

Using a single web-based interface, presenters can connect their laptop webcam and microphones and control the entire show autonomously: switching layouts, triggering graphics and video inserts, sharing screens, annotating tactics in real time, and managing audio and on-air elements.
