Murclive
In the year 2007, the Media Unit of Royal College began pioneering sports webcasts. In spite of working with limited technical knowledge and equipment at the time, the webcasts were quite successful, paving the way for future forays into the field. Gradually from 2008-2011 the streaming improved, graduating from a blog, to Royal College.lk and finally, in the year 2012, to our very own site, MURClive.com. Today, MURClive has risen to a standard comparable to that of professional sports casting companies.
Media Unit of Royal College (MURC) itself has greatly expanded and improved, attaining professional level proficiency in many Media related disciplines, including but not limited to; Announcing, Webcasting, Event Management, Graphic Designing, Marketing, Public Relations, Videography, Photography, Journalism etc. Today, the Unit is divided into four main firms (MURC Creatives, Le Postre Team, Royal News Team and the Video Crew) operating under the main umbrella body.
The website www.MURClive.com is the dedicated Sporting website of Royal College & fully administrated by the Media Unit and is a non-profit endeavor solely funded by sponsors & well wishers and of course, Royal itself. This constitutes an enormous workload, especially in the midst of our numerous other projects.
