F EED ’s last issue of 2024 is here, and it’s a very special one at that. In case you missed the shiny gold letters on the cover, this one is all about you! Being in an industry whose very foundations are built on innovation, we knew we wanted to develop a celebratory concept that ensures those making a real impact get the recognition they deserve. Without further ado, I’m delighted to share the debut of the FEED Honours List, our new annual acknowledgement of the movers and shakers in M&E. From appreciating pioneering women and legendary leaders to celebrating excellence in cloud and outstanding contributions to sports broadcast – join us in paying homage to our Honours List class of 2024. Elsewhere is our election coverage special – and a much needed one at that! With records being broken for having the most crucial elections taking place in one year, the wave of technical advancements from broadcasters and vendors alike has been remarkable. As the world recovers from the recent pantomime of a presidential race, we reveal the technology that powers this particularly challenging mode of coverage. Grab your warmest coat and woolliest scarf for page 84, as Neal Romanek takes us up north for the first instalment of his Nordics series. In this article, he shares the moves being made in the chilly region to ensure a new generation of broadcast talent gets its start. For our AI focus feature, Katie Kasperson investigates the lucrative captioning and dubbing field of broadcast, and how entirely new revenue streams can be unlocked due to major advances in this technology. Plus, our round table pools a panel of IP aficionados who evaluate the latest trends while sharing tips and tricks for that all-important transition. In the winter edition of Xtreme , Oliver Webb rounds off our year of Olympics coverage with some final reflections on Paris 2024, highlighting key takeaways as we look ahead to LA28 in four years’ time. We also go behind the broadcast of the wildly popular Formula E, whose success can be attributed in part to the sophisticated livestreaming set-up that delivers it to a global audience. I hope you enjoy this issue and look out for FEED ’s return in spring 2025! ...FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
