Broadcasting Paris 2024 Paralympic Games
Category: InterviewCoverage of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games is produced for Channel 4 by Whisper and features multiple studios and locations across the city - including at the Stade De France, La Défense Arena, the Athletes’ Village, ParalympicsGB House and the Pont Alexandre III - capturing both the majesty of Paris and the elite sporting action.
For the first time, our remote galleries and back-of-house production team will be based in Cardiff where a new state-of-the-art facility is being built for the Games to house around 200 people working on Channel 4’s Paralympics coverage, including 16 disabled people from the broadcaster’s Paralympics Production Trainee Scheme. The 2024 Paris Paralympics will be the biggest ever sports production in Wales and it is hoped the new, fully accessible hub will leave a lasting legacy for the nation.
Channel 4 has been the official UK Paralympic broadcaster since taking over coverage of the Paralympics in 2012, with coverage of London 2012 regularly cited as a key moment in helping shift public perceptions around disability and disability sport. The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games is overseen at Channel 4 by Pete Andrews, Channel 4’s Head of Sport, Antonia Howard-Taylor, Commissioning Executive for Sport and Live Events, and Joe Blake-Turner, Commissioning Editor, Sport.
Executive producers for Whisper are Sunil Patel, Mark Cole, Liz Johnson, Matt Roberts and Pete Thomas.
The Last Leg is commissioned for Channel 4 by Cimran Shah, Commissioning Editor, Reality & Entertainment. The executive producers are Andrew Beint and Danny Carr, with Tom Messer as series producer.
