Case Study: Warner Bros. Discovery delivers Olympic coverage at massive scale with AWS Elemental and AWS

Warner Bros. Discovery streams 1.3 billion minutes of Olympic coverage with AWS Elemental

Warner Bros. Discovery needed to deliver massive, innovative, and reliable broadcast coverage of the Olympic Games to millions of viewers across numerous territories and languages. To support this global effort, the company worked with AWS and utilized services including AWS Infrastructure Event Management and AWS Elemental Media Event Management.

AWS provided scalable and reliable solutions, including a pioneering machine learning tool for automatic commentary checking to ensure audio matched the correct languages. As a result, Warner Bros. Discovery streamed over 1.3 billion minutes of content for Tokyo 2020 and 1 billion minutes for Beijing 2022, reaching 175 million viewers across Europe for the former event. Thanks to AWS, the company is well-positioned to enhance viewer experiences for future games.
