In a change of plans, Los Angeles’ Olympic Organizing Committee is moving the International Broadcast Center for the 2028 Summer Games from Inglewood to Burbank.
The move marks a different tack for LA28, which had announced last May that the in-development Hollywood Park Studios in Inglewood would be the home of the media hub, where rights holders ranging from NBCUniversal to Warner Bros. Discovery and others would have bases set up for operations.
The reevaluation and final approval to move over to Warner Bros.’ The Ranch in Burbank was made by the executive board of the International Olympic Committee in June. Preparations to create the International Broadcast Center campus will begin in January 2027, with the center being able to have access to 16 soundstages at The Ranch.
“Being confirmed by LA28 affirms the intention behind this world-class campus and hosting the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games’ International Broadcast Center is both an honor and a reflection of Warner Bros.’ leadership in serving the creative community as we continue building on more than a century of storytelling expertise,” stated Simon Robinson, Warner Bros. Discovery’s President of Global Experiences and Studio Operations.
