Case Study: Warner Bros. Discovery builds a unified live production platform with Grass Valley AMPP

Warner Bros. Discovery handles 62,000 hours of Olympic content with Grass Valley

Warner Bros. Discovery faced the challenge of managing its massive coverage of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 while simultaneously maintaining its regular sports programming output. Their previous event-specific workflows created operational complexity and duplication, increasing pressure on their systems. The challenge was to create a single, scalable production environment with Grass Valley that could handle Olympic-level demand without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Grass Valley implemented a unified platform based on its AMPP, utilizing Framelight X as the workflow engine and Playout X for channel delivery. This solution modernized ingest and connected all production elements within a single environment. The results were substantial: the platform supported over 600 daily users, handled 62,000 hours of recorded content, and delivered 42 linear channels alongside 100+ digital channels, enabling efficient scaling across both Olympic and regular coverage.
