What MediaHub does

MediaHub (legal entity Media Hub S.A.) is a privately held Greek B2B media services company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Athens, with production facilities in Koropi. It operates as a fully serviced media hub providing end-to-end value chain services — including linear channel playout (HD and SD), video on demand content preparation, full-service TV production and post, studio and on-location production, creative services, subtitling and dubbing, content rights acquisition and sublicensing, satellite broadcasting, and proprietary HD set-top boxes — primarily to broadcasters, telecommunications operators, and content owners. The platform is built around three coordinated operational centers: a Video Operations Center managing 30+ HD/SD channel playouts with satellite uplink, fiber delivery, and 24/7/365 monitoring; a Video Lab Center handling OTT/multiscreen video, encoding, localization, and quality control; and a Content Productions Center producing original scripted and non-scripted programming.

The underlying technical stack includes a proprietary 4 Stream encoding/transcoding ecosystem for rapid, cost-effective file preparation, EBU-compliant localization infrastructure covering 13+ languages with native voice-over services in six languages, and proprietary HD set-top boxes with conditional access. MediaHub's production footprint comprises 2,800 sqm of production space within a 9,000 sqm complex, including one 400 sqm studio and access to three additional on-site studios ranging from 100 to 800 sqm. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vermantia Group, leveraging group-level resources for content distribution.

Revenue is generated across eight service streams: managed playout services, VOD content preparation (professional services), TV production and post-production, creative services, subtitling and dubbing, content rights licensing, satellite broadcasting via teleport partners PCCW and RRSAT, and hardware sales of set-top boxes. The company goes to market via direct B2B sales targeting Greek broadcasters, telcos (OTE TV, Vodafone Greece), public broadcasters (ERT), and international rights holders (ESPN, Sportradar, Fox Greece). Content rights are distributed across 11+ countries in Europe and Asia, including Romania, Iran, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Balkans, Finland, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Armenia.
