3,000 pieces of broadcast equipment, including trucks and trailers, previously owned or operated by Arena Television are being put up for sale following the OB company's demise.
CA Global Partners, an asset management and capital recovery firm, and Hickman Shearer, a capital asset valuation, management and used equipment sales company, will conduct an auction between 22 and 24 February that will include Sony and Grass Valley camera channels and Canon and Fujinon lenses as well as EVS, sound and vision equipment. The equipment is described as being well maintained.
Nine outside broadcast trailers and rigid trucks have also been put up for immediate negotiated sale, complete with a choice of associated equipment. Of those nine, four have already been sold. They are OB8, OB9, OB10 and OB11.
The list of the available kit includes:
Trailers and rigid trucks
100kms of OB and power cable
100+ Sony and Grass Valley camera channels
100+ Canon and Fujinon lenses
Vinten grip
EVS production servers and Stage Racers
Various sound desks and vision mixers
Audio equipment from Riedel, Calrec, Black Magic, Genelec, Sennheiser, Wisycom, Sony and Apple
IT and comms by Netinsight and Cisco
Dan Main, EMEA director of CA Global Partners said: This is a genuinely unique opportunity to purchase equipment from the closure of a major UK business in the outside broadcast space and although the auctions will be held in the UK the sale is expected to attract a global audience of prospective buyers to deliver maximum recoveries to our client.
The sale is being held on behalf of Kroll, the administrators working for the company's creditors.
Arena Television ceased trading in November 2021 with asset debts of £282m. Benjamin John Wiles and Robert Armstrong of Kroll Advisory were appointed joint administrators on 12 November.
