NEW YORK — As the FIFA World Cup 2026 enters its final phase, HITN MEDIA, the nation’s leading Spanish-language public television network, has successfully transformed its iconic Brooklyn Navy Yard rooftop into the New York broadcast headquarters for New World TV’s summer soccer coverage. PGS Group of France, an international media services company, managed the production, turning HITN’s waterfront studios into a world-class international broadcast center delivering FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage to more than 90 million viewers across Sub-Saharan Africa.
After evaluating multiple New York City locations, New World TV, a Pan-African broadcaster, selected HITN’s 23,000-square-foot rooftop terrace for its unparalleled Manhattan skyline views and technical infrastructure. Over the past several weeks, approximately 40 international broadcast professionals operated from Brooklyn, producing live programming from facilities housing presentation studios, production offices, and a technical operation hub, supported by HITN Media’s connectivity, power distribution, and transmission services.
“As the tournament reaches its conclusion, this project has demonstrated the extraordinary capabilities of HITN Media’s Brooklyn studios as a premier destination for international media production,” said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN. “We are proud of what our teams and partners have accomplished together, bringing New York’s energy and skyline to millions of viewers around the world.”
The rooftop facility offers expansive outdoor production space, unobstructed skyline views, high-capacity fiber connectivity, technical support areas, and secure access. “New York City is one of the world’s great stages, and we wanted a location that reflected the energy and global reach of our coverage,” said Aboubakar Coulibaly, CEO of New World Televisions Group. “HITN Media’s rooftop provided the ideal combination of visual impact and broadcast capabilities.”
“This project demonstrates what can be achieved when world-class facilities are combined with international broadcast expertise,” said Michaël Viviani, CEO of PGS Group. “Together with HITN Media and New World Sport, PGS designed, integrated, and delivered a complete international broadcast hub within just a few weeks.” The success reinforces HITN Media’s Brooklyn Navy Yard campus as a premier destination for live television and major sporting events.
