As an experiential storyteller, Ted understands how to build powerful environments, making him ideally suited to help us unlock MSG Sphere's potential and create experiences that truly transport audiences. Ted has spent the last year as a consultant on this project, and we are thrilled to make him an official part of our MSG Entertainment family."

Mr. King said, "This is a tremendous opportunity to be part of an exciting vision for the future of entertainment - fully immersive experiences on a grand scale. I am excited to be joining the team and look forward to building on the rich legacy of the Company."

MSG Entertainment is also opening a new, 48,500 square-foot space in the legendary Burbank Studios that will be used by MSG Sphere Studios, MSG Ventures and other MSG Entertainment employees. The space will feature a 10,500 square-foot soundstage that was originally home to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, which is currently being transformed into a state-of-the-art, full-service studio that includes production, editing, camera testing, and recording space. The Burbank, California location also allows MSG Entertainment to take advantage of the depth of skills, talent and technology available on the West Coast.
