021, based in Birmingham, is one of the nation’s largest outside broadcast facility companies.
John Newton, CEO of GMG, said: “We are delighted to welcome this prestigious and successful company to our portfolio of broadcast service companies within the Gravity Media Group.
Rights holders and broadcasters are looking to service providers to provide a comprehensive integrated solution particularly on large scale projects.”
GMG will be the leading facilities provider at the World Cup in later this year, providing services to several clients including HBS and ITV. The Group is currently providing the host broadcast facilities for the Australian Tennis Open, which is followed by the Commonwealth Games in March.
The business will continue as 021 Television, based in Birmingham, and led by the same management team.
This is the second acquisition completed by GMG following the previous deal in September 2004 when it acquired the outside broadcast division of Seven Network.
