OKNO-TV (UK), a broadcast systems integrator, has acquired UK-based systems integrator and mobile broadcast production specialist Megahertz Broadcast Systems.
The deal will extend OKNO-TVs portfolio to include mobile production vehicles, live production and RF while giving the company an established international presence.
The acquisition of Megahertz gives us an immediate in-house capability, with a team of highly respected engineers and project managers that will help to facilitate the expansion of our portfolio to include production vehicles and RF capabilities and to extend our footprint globally, said Jon Flay, managing director of OKNO-TV (UK). We identified that sports and mobile applications were important markets and with Megahertzs rich heritage in those arenas we are looking to further accelerate our growth internationally.
Megahertz has an established international client base extending across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The company recently designed and built a massive broadcast centre at the London 2012 Olympic Park for BT Sports incorporating five production galleries, 20 edit suites, eight voiceover suites as well as the master control and playout centre. Additionally Megahertz has recently completed the turnkey systems integration on outside broadcast vehicles for Oman Television and Astro in Malaysia.
