Post-Paris 2024 - Ep. 3: Thierry Fautier
I have asked few of people in my network with direct experience of the games these 3 questions for A guy with a scarf:
1. How was Paris 2024 compared to your expectations? What exceeded, what fell short.
2. The most innovative thing you saw (in any of venue, broadcast, digital, social).
3. What should be improved in LA?
Here is what Thierry had to say:
š Exceeding Expectations: Despite initial doubts, Paris 2024 was a resounding success, dispelling concerns about high prices and overcrowding.
š¼ Iconic Venues: The games uniquely integrated iconic Parisian landmarks, setting a high bar for future hosts.
šŗ UHD Breakthrough: For the first time, UHD coverage was widespread:
100% UHD production (where possible)
70% DTT coverage in France
Major ISPs offering 2160p60 HDR
š Room for Improvement:
Graphics support was limited compared to other major broadcasters
Broadcast constraints highlighted the potential for OTT services
š¬ Innovative Viewing Experiences:
Peacock (US) offered extensive coverage, custom alerts, and multiview options
Warner Bros Discovery provided impressive thumbnails and navigation
Looking ahead to LA 2028, Fautier anticipates:
š¤ Enhanced AI integration for personalized viewing
š Improved statistics and graphics
š± Potential for companion mobile apps to complement TV viewing
