What Live Media Group does

Live Media Group Holdings, LLC is a privately held mobile broadcast production holding company organized through three wholly-owned operating divisions—Live Media (Columbus, OH), TNDV Television (Nashville, TN), and GameTime Productions—operating a fleet of more than 30 mobile production units ranging from 53-foot double expando UHD trucks to 20-foot production/uplink hybrids. Founded in 2008 by CEO Brad Sexton, the company has grown through the 2019 acquisition of TNDV, Harb Production Services, and Coastal Media Group and the 2022 acquisition of Lyon Video (later rebranded) into one of the largest live broadcast facility providers in the United States. The company is headquartered in Nashville with operational hubs in Columbus and serves customers nationwide and globally.

The company's technology stack is anchored in SMPTE 2110 IP-based production workflows, EVS Strada routing and replay systems, Ross Video Ultrix Acuity platforms, XPression graphics, Grass Valley K-Frame switchers, Calrec audio consoles (Artemis, Apollo, Argo Q), and Sony/Grass Valley cameras. Two purpose-built REMI control rooms in Nashville, together with specialty units such as Aspiration35 (ARRI camera truck) and Vibration (flagship audio production unit), enable remote production, satellite uplink transmission, multitrack recording, and cinematic live workflows for sports, entertainment, corporate, and worship events.

Live Media Group operates a direct enterprise field sales model with dedicated sales teams for each division and quote-based pricing. Revenue is generated through professional services spanning mobile production unit rental, fly pack rental, REMI control room services, satellite uplink, and multitrack audio recording, primarily from sports networks and leagues (ESPN, TNT Sports, NBC Sports, CW Sports, ACCN, NCAA, NFL, Athletes Unlimited), entertainment producers (AEW, People's Choice Country Awards, Dolly Parton specials, KIDZ BOP, TikTok), corporate clients, and faith-based organizations. Marketing is delivered via content marketing, industry press coverage, and customer-logo-driven social proof.

Broad incumbents

• NEP Group: Largest North American outside broadcast and live events services provider, operating a fleet of mobile production units and centralized REMI/control room infrastructure globally. Direct competitor for enterprise sports and entertainment RFPs and the dominant incumbent in Live Media's primary market.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): Global live event production services company providing video, audio, lighting, and rigging for entertainment, corporate, and sports events. Broader portfolio than Live Media but directly competes for entertainment and award-show live production work.

Direct peers

• Game Creek Video: Privately held US provider of mobile broadcast production units serving major sports networks and leagues. Closely comparable in fleet size, customer profile (ESPN, NFL, college sports), and turnkey live production model.
• Mobile TV Group (MTVG): US mobile broadcast production fleet serving major sports and entertainment clients, including regional sports networks and national broadcasts. Direct competitor in the same mid-to-large OB truck category with overlapping enterprise sports customers.
• Presteigne Broadcast Hire: International broadcast equipment rental and outside broadcast services provider serving live sports, news, and entertainment. Comparable fly pack and truck rental offering, though with stronger European presence and a broader rental catalog.
• F&F Productions: US-based outside broadcast and mobile production company serving sports, entertainment, and corporate clients with HD/UHD truck fleet. Comparable in scale and customer mix, though now operating as part of a larger broadcast services group.
• All Mobile Video (AMV): New York-based outside broadcast and production services provider offering mobile units and integrated production for sports, entertainment, and live events. Comparable in service mix (OB, fly packs, control rooms) and enterprise customer targeting.
• Bexel (NEP Broadcast Services): Broadcast equipment rental and production services provider (now part of NEP) specializing in cameras, audio, fly packs, and fiber infrastructure for live events. Direct overlap with Live Media's fly pack and equipment rental revenue streams.

Regional players

• CTV Outside Broadcasts: UK-based outside broadcast provider operating a fleet of OB trucks for major sports and entertainment across the UK and Ireland. Comparable business model and REMI/IP investments but primarily serves UK/European clients rather than Live Media's US-centric base.
• Telegenic: UK-based outside broadcast provider offering 4K/UHD trucks and remote production services for sports and entertainment. Similar technology stack (IP-based workflows, high-end camera systems) and competitive positioning in a different geography.
