17 Dec Timeline Television opens new studio in Ealing

Timeline Television, the broadcast and facilities company, has opened a new 9,700 square foot studio in Ealing.

Ealing Broadcast Centre offers studio and production facilities in West London, including voiceover and dressing rooms, production offices, editing suites, control rooms, and a virtual reality room.

The site also includes a data centre.

David Harnett, Head of Operations at Timeline, said: “One of the other major advantages is we’ve created a data centre where we can expand up to something like 60 racks in the space that’s there.

“It really is at the cutting edge of redundancy and backup technology.

“It’s very hard to find a nice glass office building that also works for the broadcast market, unless you purpose-build the whole building and so this was a fantastic find, and being able to create the studio space in the basement.

“I couldn’t believe it when we first went down there because they had these cavernous areas with six-and-a-half meter ceiling height.”

Daniel McDonnell, CEO of Timeline, added: “We have a large data centre in our new facility. It’s a key attribute; More and more clients are remotely producing programs from their location using virtual machines and systems in our data centre. For me, that counts as cloud broadcast.”
