4m 10s
It's not often where a U.S-based broadcaster gets to collaborate with another broadcast entity that's under the same corporate umbrella, but for a massive global event like the 2024 Summer Olympics, there's no better time for Warner Bros. Discovery to put their transatlantic partnership to use. The perfect microcosm of this is the work being by Warner Bros. Discovery's VP, Tech Operations, Chris Brown. Normally a major player for WBD's domestic efforts on properties like the NBA on TNT, NHL on TNT, MLB on TBS, NCAA Men's Final Four and March Madness, and more, the industry veteran is assisting in Eurosport's extensive studio programming from their rooftop location in Paris.
In this interview, Brown explains how he ended up being assigned a role at the Games, how the relationship has been with WBD Europe's SVP of Content, Production & Business Operations Scott Young and his onsite team, the productions that are leveraging the techno jib that was brought over from the United States, and why these Olympics are a great example of the overall synergy that's occurring between the company's staff on both sides of the Atlantic.
