Paris 2024: Dynamic studios and multilingual reporting to deliver games to 47 markets

Scott Young, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports, Europe, explains how on-the-ground coverage and dynamic studio setups are key to delivering Paris 2024 in 19 languages.

In its first Summer Olympic Games since merging in 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is preparing for what it believes is the most unique broadcast operation of any rights holder from Paris.

Like other broadcasters, it is promising to deliver all 3,800 hours of live competition that host agency Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) will produce, but unlike, say NBC, it will tailor it to 19 languages across 47 markets.

“That would arguably be what sets us apart from any other broadcaster,” says Scott Young, Group SVP, Content, Production and Business Operations at WBD Sports, Europe. “The principal idea is, how do you create a plug-and-play dynamic platform that isn’t wedded to any one studio, or any particular camera, which is only for that market? How do you make it work across 47 markets?”
