138 - 2024 NHL Winter Classic with WBD Sports' Lee Estroff

The New Year always opens with one of our favorite productions of the year: the NHL Winter Classic. This year, the event visited the Pacific Northwest and T-Mobile Park in Seattle as the league's two newest franchises – the Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken - met up outdoors. This is now the third year that the NHL on TNT and the team from Warner Bros. Discovery Sports have handled the production and, as usual, it was a feast for the eyes. On this episode of The SVG Podcast, we reflect on the broadcast with Lee Estroff, Director of Technical Operations at WBD Sports to get his take on what made this baseball stadium a beautiful place to broadcast a hockey game from, what advice he would give to someone working on a live sports production in a unique locale, and much more. The SVG Podcast is for the sports-video–production professional looking to keep up with the latest in sports-video–production operations and technology. The program features interviews with some of the biggest, most influential names in the sports-video business talking trends and topics that impact the industry.
