For our season finale of Leaders Live, IMG’s EVP of Head of Global Production joins the show to run the rule over the sports broadcast and production sector.

Leaders Live, produced in partnership with IMG, is our studio talk show on hot button issues in the industry, featuring conversations with leaders from across sport.

This edition features former Sky Sports chief and current EVP, Head of Global Production at IMG, Barney Francis, who offers his industry-wide assessment of the sports broadcast space. With Leaders’ Content Director David Cushnan and Editorial Director James Emmett, Francis explains who’s innovating and where the big technical and creative leaps are happening, pinpoints the sector’s biggest challenges and details why it’s never been a more exciting time to be in the sports production game.

Francis also takes the Leaders team behind the scenes of IMG Studios at Stockley Park in West London, the home of Premier League Productions, CBS Sports’ Uefa Champions League coverage, ITV’s EFL highlights show and a multitude of other sports programming and production.
