AERIAL DRONES FOR LIVE TV,
SPORTS, CONCERTS & AWARD SHOWS
We Fly Aerial Media is a broadcast drone company providing live aerial cinematography for television networks, sports leagues, concert productions and award shows across the United States and internationally. Our crews have delivered live aerial coverage for some of the most-watched events in the world — from Formula 1 and the Super Bowl to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, the MTV VMAs and major concert productions. We integrate seamlessly into broadcast infrastructure, with wireless video feeds piped directly into the production truck.
All live broadcast drone operations are FAA Part 107 certified with waivers for night operations, flight over people and moving vehicles — critical for stadium and event environments. We hold authorizations for controlled airspace Classes B, C and D, and carry a $10M–$25M aviation liability policy satisfying the requirements of all major domestic and international networks. Our crews are experienced with network safety protocols and can coordinate with venue operations, local authorities and the Federal Aviation Administration on all necessary TFRs and authorizations.
