NBC Sports' Stamford, CT broadcast is very much at the center of of its Olympics efforts during the Paris 2024 Games. Almost 2,000 NBC Sports staffers - nearly two-thirds of the entire Olympics coverage team - are working at the division's headquarters in Stamford, handling what ultimately will be more than 7,000 hours of programming across NBCUniversal's linear, streaming, and social platforms.
While the team in Paris is focused on capturing the Olympic action as it plays out, it's up to the crew Stamford to take in thousands of those live and ENG feeds from Paris and package them for the millions of viewers watching across the U.S.
During the 19 days of Paris 2024 coverage, Stamford is housing 17 production-control rooms, the lion's share of NBC's live studio productions, 28 off-tube announce booths, a dozen flex rooms that can serve a variety of needs, 24/7 live-ingest and editing, the massive Highlights Factory operation, the broadcast-operations center, and more.
SVG had the chance to chat with Darryl Jefferson, SVP, engineering & technology, NBC Sports & Olympics, about how the facility is handling such a tall task.
