Ep 6: From WWE to the Olympics: Remote Production, Network Shifts & Career Advice with Darren Chiappetta

Welcome to Episode 6 of TV Crew Talk.
Guest Darren Chiappetta (producer/director; WWE, ESPN/ABC, NBC Olympics, track & field) breaks down how live sports are changing — from REMI/remote workflows and centralized control rooms to cloud production and what it all means for crews, freelancers, and the next generation. What we cover

WWE backstage: scaling a live TV “concert” every week
Producer’s job on track & field: logistics, timing, live storytelling
REMI explained: crews on site, control rooms off site; MLS + Olympics examples
Cloud shows from home: director, producer, A1, TD all remote
Fewer crews, more consolidation — how networks are restructuring
Career advice: be versatile, learn AWS/cloud, and why staff roles may be safer than freelance (today)
