A media stream including event media is received from the wireless communications device. The event media is generated by the wireless communications device obtained from the observation position. The media stream is forwarded to a media production processor. Upon selection, the media production processor uses the media stream to prepare media program coverage of the event. Other embodiments are disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: establishing, by a system comprising a processor, wireless communications with a mobile phone; determining an observation position of the mobile phone relative to an event, the mobile phone being equipped with a video camera to generate event video of the event obtained from the observation position;
