ITV’s World Cup coverage is disrupted during the build-up to France’s match against Morocco after storms in New York affect the broadcaster’s studio location. Multiple reports say ITV commentators and pundits Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Patrick Vieira are forced to leave the studio area before moving to another indoor location. The accounts describe ITV’s U.S. studio setup as being in New York, with the venue reported to be connected to a lift/studio infrastructure there. As the weather conditions worsen, the pundits and ITV personnel temporarily relocate to continue the programme ahead of kick-off for the France vs Morocco game. While the specific technical cause is not detailed beyond the storm-related disruption, both outlets agree the change is operational rather than a change to match coverage itself. The incident reflects the impact of local weather on live sports broadcast arrangements in the United States during the tournament.
