On Sunday April 20, 2008, a large scale, special event Papal Mass was held at New York's Yankee Stadium. It was to become one of the great broadcast challenges of 2008 because it was scheduled to be covered by an extraordinary number of broadcasters. This made set up time and the cable path to and from camera locations and the many broadcast vans the real issue of the day. That's where Bexel Broadcast Services came in. Only the live world event specialists could pull off something so complicated and time sensitive.

There were 20 anchor positions with multiple cameras, microphones, video monitors and IFB's as well as 72 unilateral broadcasters. The media department of the Archdiocese of New York, with Larry Estrin as the coordinating technical director for media, determined that in order to allow all of these broadcasters to set up quickly and efficiently (since most of them were coming late on Saturday evening from another Papal Event in Yonkers), a vendor/client partnership was needed to provide a coordinated plan. That plan included the construction of steel scaffold platforms, power and a means of getting their signals to and from the media area in the stadium, in the center field bleachers, and to the parking lot on the opposite end of the stadium, where they could all have access to outgoing fiber. The distance was approximately 1200 feet.

The time constraints imposed by the stadium and, the Secret Service requirement to have the stadium cleared of people by 1:00AM for their security sweep, dictated that the broadcasters could not run their own cables. Bexel was contracted to provide a backbone that consisted of 18 TAC-12 fiber cables and the associated electronics and support technicians that allowed all the broadcasters to efficiently set up their positions and connect to their associated broadcast vans. Bexel also provided audio and video signal distribution at St. Joseph's Seminary as well as various other fiber services.

Estrin commented, "Bexel provided excellent support to me and to the Archdiocese of New York. All of the facilities installed at both St. Joseph's Seminary and Yankee Stadium more than satisfied the requirements of the media, allowing a very significant number of broadcasters to efficiently carry both events. Thank you!"
