WaveFX Teams Up with “That Peter Crouch Podcast” for Live Football Watch-along Event

UK based webcast production company WaveFX recently joined forces with the hugely popular “That Peter Crouch Podcast” to deliver a high energy live football watch-along

The event featured a thrilling UEFA Champions League clash between Arsenal and PSG., streamed live across multiple social media channels, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X. WaveFX handled the filming, streaming, and webcast production, ensuring fans experienced a seamless, high-quality real-time stream.

Hosted by football icon Peter Crouch and his co-hosts, the live watch-along was filled with banter, expert analysis, and behind-the-scenes insights, making it a must-watch for football fans everywhere. With multiple cameras, live graphics, and social media integration, WaveFX helped transform the watch-along into a true interactive experience.

Multi-platform Live Sports streaming production from London

WaveFX provided the filming, streaming and webcast production for a live football watch-along featuring Peter Crouch and his podcast co-hosts.

Broadcast during the UEFA Champions League match between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, the programme was streamed simultaneously across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X.

The production combined multiple cameras, live graphics, clear audio and real-time social media delivery to give football fans an entertaining alternative to traditional match coverage.

The client’s challenge

That Peter Crouch Podcast wanted to bring its familiar mixture of football discussion, humour and personal insight to a live online audience during one of the season’s biggest matches.

Unlike a recorded podcast, a football watch-along must react immediately to events on the pitch. Goals, chances, decisions and unexpected moments cannot be planned or repeated.

The production therefore needed to:

  • Capture the presenters’ reactions throughout the match
  • Stream continuously for more than 90 minutes
  • Deliver clear pictures and sound from a studio environment
  • Switch between multiple cameras in real time
  • Add live graphics without interrupting the conversation
  • Broadcast simultaneously to four social platforms
  • Maintain a consistent experience across desktop and mobile devices
  • Keep the technical operation separate from the presenters’ discussion

Audience and location

The watch-along was produced from a London studio arranged to resemble a relaxed living-room setting.

This gave Peter Crouch and his co-hosts a comfortable environment for conversation while providing WaveFX with the technical control needed for a multi-camera live production.

The programme was created for an online football audience joining through YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X. This multi-platform approach allowed viewers to watch and interact through the social channel they already used.

Platforms used

The live programme was distributed across:

  • YouTube
  • TikTok
  • Instagram
  • X

Each platform has its own video formats, audience behaviour and technical requirements. WaveFX managed the production and streaming workflow so the programme could reach viewers across all four destinations at the same time.

Live sports streaming production setup

WaveFX provided end-to-end production support, including:

  • London studio production
  • Multiple cameras
  • Camera operation
  • Professional audio
  • Studio lighting
  • Live vision mixing
  • On-screen graphics
  • Stream encoding
  • Simultaneous multi-platform delivery
  • Social media integration
  • Programme recording
  • Technical monitoring throughout the broadcast

The studio was designed to retain the informal character of the podcast while providing the reliability and production control required for a live sports programme.

Production risks addressed

Live sports content has no fixed script. The production team must be ready to capture and respond to important moments without warning.

Streaming to several social networks at once also introduces additional technical demands. Each destination must receive a stable feed, with consistent sound, pictures and graphics throughout the programme.

WaveFX managed these risks through active monitoring, experienced live production and real-time control of the cameras, audio, graphics and outgoing streams.

The technical team handled the broadcast operation, allowing the presenters to concentrate on the match, their conversation and the online audience.

The measurable outcome

The watch-along ran throughout the Arsenal versus Paris Saint-Germain UEFA Champions League match and was delivered live across four major social platforms.

The archived YouTube broadcast has received more than 14,000 views, extending the value of the programme after the live match finished.

By combining a recognisable football personality, an established podcast format and simultaneous social streaming, the production reached fans through the platforms where they already consume football content.
