On the eve of the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe has unveiled a first peek at its studios in the heart of the city. Based at Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) House in Paris, the studio will deliver live coverage of this summer’s Olympic Games.

This will involve 190 essential crew who will be in action at WBD House on a daily basis.

On top of the Hotel Raphael one of the stand up positions will be utilised by WBD’s global news network, CNN. The studios will be seen for the first time by viewers in the build up to Eurosport’s coverage of Friday evening’s Opening Ceremony.
