Quotable
“We are very strong believers in collaboration. Our goal is to explore how new technologies can enable fans to experience sports with the best in the business, and that is through our own efforts and also through our partnerships. Some examples: the social experience around games, sports betting, in-arena production ideas… We’ve been innovators and first movers since our early days and that goes back to starting the first 24/7 sports network to developing new technologies like the PylonCam to our amazing Megacast that we do across our sports at ESPN… Technology is our heritage at ESPN and also at the Walt Disney Company and we’re going to continue to explore emerging, new technologies.
– Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN and Sports Content, speaking at the ESPN Edge Conference
