Discovery, said: The Weekend of Champions on 10-11 June represents an extraordinary feat of engineering, technological innovation and expertise within our world-class presentation and production teams without whom our wall-to-wall coverage of some of the biggest events in sport would not be possible.
The complexity of simultaneously broadcasting multiple events across numerous channels and platforms in 20 languages to millions of fans in 50 markets across Europe alone is unprecedented and only Warner Bros.
