New TR News Agency

What New TR News Agency does

New TR News Agency is a London-headquartered international TV news organization founded in 2011 that operates a global broadcast services platform spanning 17 live studios across 14 countries on five continents. The company provides end-to-end news production and broadcast infrastructure services — including satellite news gathering (SNG) and outside broadcast (OB) vans, uplink and satellite transmission, managed broadcast facility rental, rapid-response news production support, and full content production ranging from news packages to documentaries — supplemented by NEWTR.LIVE, a dedicated live streaming and broadcast platform.

The underlying technical stack combines dedicated satellite capacity on Eutelsat with Switch fiber network connectivity, plus IP-based systems and specialized bonding uplinks to support reliable transmission from studios and remote locations. An Istanbul operations center (with a second Istanbul studio at Şişhane) houses the multilingual production and management team supporting 24/7 coverage in English, French, Arabic, and Turkish, while regional sales teams in London (UK/Europe), Istanbul (Turkey), Dubai (Middle East), and New York (Americas) handle enterprise bookings.

New TR monetizes primarily through professional services and managed services revenue streams: broadcast facility rental, news production services, SNG/OB van deployment, uplink and satellite transmission, and content licensing. Customers — primarily international media organizations and TV broadcasters — book facility time and production services on half-day (4h), full-day (8h), two-day, weekly, or monthly cadences through a quote-based, direct enterprise field-sales motion, with no public rate card disclosed.
