In providing transmission for some of the largest broadcasters in the UK, we've built a real understanding of their business needs, and the needs of their customers - the viewers. Across the country, 22 million homes receive ITV and Channel 4 from our broadcast networks. We also provide transmission for virtually all of the UK's independent radio stations - both analogue and digital.

In addition to operational experience, we have a strong technical heritage. As system integrators for broadcasters and other programme originators, we offer end-to-end media solutions that reach from programme origination and playout... through distribution and transmission... to the latest in interactive television and streaming video.

Spectrum planning is another core competency. To enable our customers to plan the appropriate network for the services they want to deliver, we have our own experienced team.

This expertise is crucial to the delivery of high-quality services, available to all UK viewers.

We're equally powerful on the infrastructure side. As well as owning and/or managing terrestrial sites covering the UK, we have our own teleports and 30 satellite antennas able to access some 100 satellites - so we can distribute content around the world.

For the years ahead, we are fully committed to the development and planning of a new digital terrestrial TV network for the UK that will be one of the most advanced in the world. Our experience in end-to-end services - from compression systems to hilltop transmitter sites - makes us the ideal partner for broadcasters through this complex process.
