AERIAL BROADCASTING
Live Indoor Aerial Broadcast for Professional Sports
White Cloud Media Group is one of only seven drone operators in the United States officially approved by the NBA to operate indoors during live games — a distinction that reflects the highest standards of safety, coordination, and broadcast precision.
We deliver real-time aerial coverage inside one of the most demanding environments in professional sports: a sold-out arena with 20,000+ fans in attendance.
Our team works closely with venue management, security personnel, and event operations to ensure every flight is fully coordinated, insured, and executed without disruption to the fan experience. Safety protocols, communication channels, and operational clearances are established and reviewed before each game.
Our integrated broadcast cameras provide dynamic aerial perspectives to both in-house production teams and live broadcast crews, adding movement, energy, and cinematic scale to the viewing experience.
From live event coverage to high-impact hype reels, we capture the intensity and immediacy of the moment safely, seamlessly, and at broadcast standard.
Precision and Safety in Every Broadcast Environment
Indoor drone flight inside a professional sports arena demands zero-margin discipline. Very few operators in the country can demonstrate this level of live-event clearance, approval, and operational history.
Our operational framework is built around precision and accountability:
Pre-game flight planning and full production coordination
Arena-approved and production-aligned flight paths
Controlled launch and landing zones
Integrated communication with broadcast and production teams
Redundant control and safety systems
Experienced, FAA Part 107 certified pilots
Real-time coordination with event directors and operations staff
A fan-first safety philosophy in every decision
We operate with a deep understanding of:
Live broadcast timing and show flow
Broadcast latency and real-time camera integration
Production truck workflows and signal handoffs
Arena operations and security protocols
Risk management in high-density environments
A Decade of Trusted Aerial Coverage
In October 2016, the San Antonio Spurs discovered our aerial work on YouTube, leading to an opportunity to capture pre- and post-game aerial footage for broadcast bumpers and hype reels.
Within a year, that initial collaboration expanded to include creative stunt work with Spurs mascot The Coyote, including complex aerial captures atop the Frost Bank Tower in downtown San Antonio.
What began as marketing-focused aerial production evolved into a long-term aerial broadcast partnership.
Since 2016, White Cloud Media Group has maintained an uninterrupted working relationship with Spurs Sports & Entertainment, delivering professional aerial broadcast services inside the Frost Bank Center (formerly the AT&T Center), one of the most demanding live-event environments in professional sports.
