About IMG Studios
IMG Studios provides television production, studio facilities, post-production and broadcast distribution for live sport and other programming. Operating as IMG’s dedicated studios business, it combines production spaces with technical infrastructure for broadcasters, streaming services, sports federations and rights holders. Its central broadcast facility is at Stockley Park in Greater London.
The business previously operated as Mediahouse at Hogarth Business Park in Chiswick. In July 2013, it relocated to a purpose-built, 107,000-square-foot broadcast centre and adopted the IMG Studios name. Subsequent expansion added capacity in a neighbouring building, supporting a campus that brings studio production, editing, sound and transmission together.
Production and broadcast capabilities
The complex includes four television studios, nine live production galleries, more than 50 edit suites, three dubbing suites and three radio studios. Two television studios measure 2,000 square feet each, with two further studios of 1,000 square feet. These facilities support multi-camera programming, live presentation, commentary and recorded content.
Post-production capabilities include Avid and Adobe Premiere editing, Pro Tools sound work, 5.1 surround dubbing, motion graphics and broadcast animation. Radio and podcast production sit alongside video services, while file-based delivery supports broadcast distribution requirements.
A large master control room connects to more than 400 external video lines. Broadcast services include round-the-clock transmission, contribution links, remote production and flyaway systems, allowing programmes and live feeds to move between venues, production teams and international audiences. The report attributes more than 35,000 hours of annual television and digital sports output to the business.
Its work encompasses football, golf, tennis and other international sports, including studio presentation, programme production, highlights and distribution. The facility also supports entertainment broadcasting, including UK operational transmission and audio work for the Eurovision Song Contest. This combination of production facilities and distribution infrastructure allows clients to use individual services or coordinate several stages of a broadcast within the same operation.
