Media Choice announces it will have relocated by 2022 its main Service Operations division from Naaldwijk to Hilversum. Media Choice's Service Operation Center currently manages hundreds of playout and contributed (fiber or satellite) lineair signals and the processing of numerous non-lineair contentfiles. These to be distributed to broadcasters, Satellite uplink and /or (Cable/OTT) lineair TV or VOD platforms. The combined live center will also remotely monitor and support systems and operations of international productions for FilmPartners and other partner companies. "The clientele, projects and services of the companies in the Media Choice group overlaps and strengthens one another more than ever. This makes it sense to combine these division in the same building that already homes FilmPartners in Hilversum for years." "Our building currently known as Oscar Romero Studios will be redecorated, extended and branded as the Media Partners' Studios and Media Center" Marvin Kooij COO/CDO explains
