All Elite Wrestling Part 1: Why SES invests in live sports broadcast partnerships

When one of the world’s most watched wrestling promoters contacted SES to help build their global audience - our instant response was ‘hell yeah’!

Distribution, sat trucks, IP, fibre, full redundancy…just a handful of the solutions that we can provide our live sports and events partners such as NFL, ESPN or…AEW.

In this first of four episodes, we go behind-the-scenes to hear the why and how a tennis stadium in Queens was transformed into a Grand Slam All Elite Wrestling event watched by thousands across the world.

With thanks to our guests:

Susanna Mandel-Mantello, VP of strategic accounts in sports and events at SES

Chris Harrington, senior VP of business strategy for AEW

Sonjay Dutt, VP of production and creative coordination at AEW

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
