Scott Young, group SVP content, production and business operations at WBD Sports Europe, said: We are delighted to now reveal our purpose built studio complex. This is the culmination of a vision that started three years ago and is without doubt the most audacious production concept that we have ever undertaken.

It is a technical masterpiece that leans into the complexity of delivering the Olympic Games in multiple markets in multiple languages. Our on air teams now have an extraordinary presentation base to host our coverage of Paris 2024, sitting above the rooftops of this famous and glamourous city.
