Global Television stands as a leading television production firm with facilities located in Australia's two largest metropolitan areas, Sydney and Melbourne. Established in 1988 by Bruce Fink, the company focuses on overseeing the technical aspects of premier live sports and entertainment broadcasts throughout Australia.
The Sydney branch, launched in 2010 at South Eveleigh, operates two advanced studios that produce a wide range of Australian programming. In Melbourne, the company functions out of South Melbourne, utilizing the former HSV-7 Studios. These four open-format studios accommodate well-known shows such as Dancing with the Stars, The Chase Australia, My Kitchen Rules, Family Feud, Fox Footy, and Taskmaster Australia.
Historically, Global Television's operations were housed in the former ATV-10 Studios located in Nunawading, where the series Neighbours was filmed at Forest Hill; this site is currently under FremantleMedia's management.
Acquired
In January 2014, Global Television was purchased by NEP Group from Catalyst Investments and subsequently integrated into NEP’s worldwide network. That same year, NEP further strengthened its market presence by acquiring Harry Michaels' Silk Studios (previously known as zerO1zerO), thereby diminishing competition in the sectors of outside broadcasting and studio production rental services.
