Members of the group may be interested in attending an event being held at the British Library on the 11th September from 18.30 - 20.00
Transmitting and Viewing the Games - with Roger Mosey, BBC Director of London 2012 and Head of BBC Sport
The opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games may have been watched by a global audience of over 4 billion – an unimaginable number. What does it take to broadcast the Games around the world and what is it like being in charge of this scale of event? Is it a logistical nightmare or Director’s dream? What was censored and what didn’t the TV viewer see? How do they decide on themes, logos, interviewers? What about the less popular sports, who decides if and how they’re covered?
Join Roger Mosey, BBC Director of London 2012 and Head of BBC Sport to find out what really goes on behind the scenes on these occasions – and what changes may happen in sports broadcasting by the next Olympic Games.
