dB broadcast builds MTV's new Leicester Square studio

dB Broadcast, one of the UK's largest independent systems integrators, has built the spectacular new studio at number 1 Leicester Square for MTV Networks UK & Ireland.
This is the only major studio in the West End and a valuable addition to London's media industry.
The new glass-walled studio has been specially built as the new home of MTV's daily video chart countdown TRL, which regularly features live interviews and performances from the biggest names in music and entertainment. TRL is MTV's flagship show in both the UK and the USA, where it is broadcast from New York's Times Square.
Tom Swan, dB's Director of Sales and Marketing, expressed his delight at having been involved in such an exciting project. He also pointed out that dB "had designed and built the system in a way that provided a technical operation familiar to the production team and also provided exactly what MTV required".
Michiel Bakker, MD of MTV Networks UK & Ireland, said: "We are delighted that we can now operate a state-of-the art studio in the hub of London's dynamic entertainment industry."
