[SatNews] A rare opportunity has arisen for broadcasters wishing to establish secure studio, production and transmission facilities in central London for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.

SIS LIVE has confirmed that it will be making its facilities in Corsham Street, London N1 6DR, available for Olympic broadcast requirements. The central London facilities are six miles from the Olympic stadium in Stratford and as close as four miles from other events, making studio interviews with athletes and commentators a practical option for broadcasters, including non-rights holders, wanting a city base next summer. The site enjoys excellent transport links by road, rail, tube and buses. It is less than two miles from Kings Cross Station and an easy walk to the nearest tube station, Old Street, and outside London’s congestion charging zone. Unusually, the site has parking for up to 14 vehicles.

As the HQ for SIS LIVE for many years the building is fully integrated to accommodate studio production operations and play out facilities. Current clients include Channel 4, William Hill and Coral TV. The buildings have production space for as many as 150 people, four studios, extensive satellite teleport facilities, including HD fibre connectivity to BT Tower. Space is available for edit and sound suites and graphics facilities. SIS LIVE can provide as much, or as little, equipment as a broadcaster requires and can support any broadcast requirement with a comprehensive service offering, including satellite uplinks, PSC crews, communications solutions, editing and streaming facilities.
