Private technology company Cosm announced on Tuesday it agreed with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (WBD) to have the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) matches, to which the latter has streaming rights, broadcast live in the former's dome-like venues that will feature 8K resolution-screens.
"We buy into that same kind of notion of leveraging amazing technology to give the human experience something they've never seen before," Cosm Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeb Terry told CNBC, adding that the space in question will be "more of a smaller format and really focused on live sports and live programming — like you're absolutely there."
The two venues that Cosm is building, one in Los Angeles and another in Dallas, will have 360-degree and 87-foot diameter 8K light-emitting diode (LED) screens. They are expected to open in 2024.
