The Games have been going for a few days now and everyone is settling into a routine. ESPN is like this: Not only is ESPN domestic here, but so is Deportes for Mexico, Pacific Rim, South Africa and Australia. It’s easy to forget that ESPN has a big international presence and to some of these countries the Olympics is a much bigger deal than in the states.
Take Mexico for example. They may not have many super high-caliber athletes, but Deportes has a big presence here. Part of two Sportscenter shows originate from the studio here. There’s also the Spanish version of PTI called Cronometro. They host part of that show here too.
I’m mainly working for the Deportes side because there’s a lot more action in the studio for them. The two hosts, Jose Ramon and David like to joke around while hosting Sportscenter for ESPN Deportes. I also help domestic out. Basically any shot you see from Beijing on ESPN I’m standing right there in the studios in the building here.
As I explained before, the company I worked for in July provides offices and studios for a bunch of networks from all over the world. So ESPN and the like get offices and studios. The place is crawling with media from all over.
There was some blue sky the other day. Here’s a cool shot with building A of Pangu Plaza.
great pictures!!
Yes, that is a very cool photo.
