Power Productions

What Power Productions does

Power Productions (legal entity: David Tapp Power Productions Pty Ltd) is an Australian private sports television production and live streaming company founded in 1995 by David Tapp and headquartered in West Gosford, NSW, with additional offices in Sydney and South East Queensland. The firm specialises in outside broadcast production for live sports, operating HD/4K broadcast trucks with Blackmagic ATEM switchers, Teradek 5G encoders, Sony and Panasonic cameras, and Yamaha audio mixers, supplemented by a fly-away kit for remote deployments. Its core capability is end-to-end live event capture, post-production, and distribution, extended into live streaming, digital content creation, and adjacent production verticals including corporate, music, commercial and reality TV.

The business serves Australian and selected Asia-Pacific broadcasters and rights holders, with anchor relationships including Fox Sports Australia, Sky Racing, Seven Network, SBS, Nine Network, and Channel Ten. Recurring weekly production for Sky Racing (4-5 days per week on harness racing) and long-tenure partnerships such as the 20+ year Fox Sports Chequered Flag arrangement provide a stable contractual base, while event-based work spans the Rugby League World Cup, Gymnastics World Cup, Asia Pacific Softball Cup, Oz Tag Australia, Bowls NSW/QLD, Disability Sports Australia, and Softball Australia. Distribution reaches direct-to-consumer platforms Kayo, 7 Plus and Sky Racing Active, and extends internationally to Fox Sports Asia and Sky Sports New Zealand.

The operating model is project- and retainer-based broadcast services revenue, with contracts structured around event fees for marquee tournaments and recurring production fees for weekly series. The company remains founder-owned and operated with no disclosed external investors, and no public revenue, headcount, or margin disclosures are available. The 30-year operating milestone reached in June 2023 reflects sustained presence in a narrow niche of Australian sports broadcasting rather than recent growth momentum.
