Over the last few weeks, COVID-19 has presented many complex challenges and has had an unprecedented impact on all of our daily lives. In addition to the personal toll, the business of our clients and colleagues, many of which are in the sports industry, has been greatly impacted.

We know that eventually, normalcy will return and that the lights will come back on in sports arenas and school gymnasiums. However, right now the number one priority is for everyone to take the proper steps to be safe and healthy for themselves, their family and their communities.

Even though we are not producing broadcasts of sporting or public events during this time, we want you to know that Winkler Productions is fully operational and available to assist with any type of media production service, both in the near term and when things return to normal. The primary objective both now and in the future will be to ensure the health and safety of our clients as well as our staff on all projects.

Let us know if we can help in any way. In the meantime, we wish everyone our best as we navigate through this global crisis together.

Be safe and well,

Steve Winkler
