(Atlanta) – An all-star lineup will use the one year to go mark to discuss the new world of television programming for London 2012 at the Around the Rings Newsmaker Breakfast July 25th in London.

Roger Mosey, Director of Olympic Games coverage, BBC; Gary Fenton, Director of Olympic Games coverage, Australia's Nine Network, and Jackie Brock-Doyle, Head of Communications, London 2012, join ATR editor Ed Hula to discuss next year’s coverage and how it will differ from previous Games.

The Breakfast is presented by The Concerto Group and Westfield Stratford City. It will be hosted at OXO2 in the iconic OXO Tower from 7:15a to 8:45a.

"The 2012 Olympics push coverage of the games into many more platforms than ever," ATR editor Ed Hula says. "The setting of these Olympics in London will provide storylines and spectacular backdrops."

Topics of conversation will include which factors are involved in the decision to carry events live and which platforms are most suitable for specific events.

Two tickets to the Hadleigh Farm Mountain Bike International in Essex on July 31st will be awarded to a member of the audience. (Must be present to win).

For 15 years, Newsmaker Breakfasts have brought together leading figures in the Olympic Movement, media, sports marketers, sponsors and others for a chance to network and discuss issues facing the Games. To date breakfasts have been hosted in Acapulco, Atlanta, Beijing, Chicago, Copenhagen, London, New York, Salt Lake City, Sydney and Vancouver.

The Concerto Group is London’s premier events planning organization. The Breakfast’s other sponsor is Westfield Stratford City, the prestigious gateway to the Olympic Park, and home base for a number of global broadcasters and other news organizations.

Mark Zimmer, Head of Olympic Brand Alliance at Westfield Stratford City, comments, "There are a limited number of rooftop sites available with breath-taking views of the stadium, never previously available at a Games. These spaces present an incredibly unique opportunity for broadcasters keen to be at the heart of the action during the games next year."

"We are now down to our final few spaces so this really is the last chance for broadcasters to acquire their space with brand new facilities that cater for all media demands."
