(22/01/2014) Megahertz was acquired by systems integrator OKNO-TV UK in October 2013 and the combined forces of both companies will trade under the name of Megahertz Ltd.

Megahertz was responsible for one of the biggest technical projects in Europe in 2013 the new BT Sport studio built on the London Olympic Park site and operated by the UK's newest sports broadcaster. This high profile, state-of-the-art project had to be completed in a very short timescale and in challenging conditions, in order to get the new services on air in time for the start of the 2013/2014 football season last August.

Where other systems integrators rely on freelancers and sub-contractors, Megahertz can deliver a complete turnkey solution, from consultation to final training and handover, all in-house.

This ensures standards are maintained and minimises risk for its clients. In turn, this has resulted in a very high level of repeat business from broadcasters and facilities around the world, including the expansion of a file-based facility at e.TV in South Africa and a second Megahertz-constructed outside Broadcast truck for Astro in Malaysia.
