Arquiva New Name for NTL Broadcast

[Hood_Rich]

A new name and corporate identity for the former Broadcast division of cable group NTL has been launched as of 1 June. The company will now be known as ‘Arqiva’, marking the final phase of its separation from former parent ntl Group.
NTL Broadcast was sold by ntl at the turn of the year to a consortium led by Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group. The re-branding provides an opportunity for Arqiva to re-establish itself as a stand-alone company with strong credentials and proven track record in broadcast services, tower leasing and public safety communications.

Arqiva can trace it roots back to the engineering division of the Independent Television Authority over 50 years ago, set up just before ITV started. With the advent of independent radio this became the Independent Broadcasting Authority, which went on to launch Channel 4 and develop numerous broadcasting technologies.
