about
NBC Sports created five studios for its coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics:
One studio at the International Broadcast Center that was set up at the Le Bourget Exhibition Centre northwest of downtown Paris
One studio in the TV tower overlooking the Trocadéro
One studio at the Balcon des Sciences, Musée de l’Homme (the “Balcony of Sciences” inside the “Museum of the Humanities”)
Two studios at Cafe de l’Homme, Studio A on the east side and Studio B on the west
With the exception of the IBC studio and a setup for “NBC Nightly News” near the Arc de Triomphe, NBC’s remaining studios were all clustered relatively close to each other around the Trocadéro. This prime real estate gave all of the venues sweeping views of the Paris skyline and the Eiffel Toward that sits just across the Seine.
Given that some studios would have access to that natural view of Paris, HD Studio opted to keep that at the forefront of many of its design decisions for the cafe and TV tower setups.
