DMC Production

What DMC Production does

DMC Production is a Stockholm-headquartered B2B media production company founded in 2016 that delivers remote (REMI) live sports broadcast production to broadcasters, sports federations, and media rights agencies. Its core offering is centralized remote production from production centers in Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Hilversum, and Munich, supported by a UHD OB-van fleet, remote vehicles, and centralized VAR infrastructure. The technology stack is built on Grass Valley's AMPP software-defined platform, EVS replay systems, Simplylive multi-camera workflows, and Fujinon optics, with emerging AI-driven PTZ camera control via Studio Automated for automated sports coverage.

The company monetizes through professional services contracts — multi-year production agreements with broadcasters such as TV2 Norway and MagentaTV/Deutsche Telekom, federation world-feed deals with FIH and World Triathlon, and league partnerships including Matchday Production (a Superligaen A/S joint venture for Danish football), AFLE 2026, and Synerglace Ligue Magnus. Additional revenue streams include OB-van rental, equipment rental, VAR operations, live streaming, global distribution via GlobeCast/BT-Tower, and production advisory services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated per engagement.

DMC Production is majority-owned by Los Angeles-based private equity firm Coral Tree Partners following a €50M+ investment in February 2025, with original founders Daniel Franck, Johan Hedblom, and Jonas Persson retaining equity and Stena Adactum holding a minority stake. Since 2024 the company has executed four acquisitions — The Crew (Netherlands), Rego Production AB and Rego Racing AB (Sweden), and Plazamedia/RT1.TV (Germany) — to accelerate European geographic and vertical expansion.

Direct peers

• NEP Group: Largest global outside broadcast and remote production services company. DMC's newly appointed CEO Paul Heitmann was previously President of NEP Europe, and the two firms compete head-to-head on tier-1 European sports federations and broadcaster contracts with similar technology stacks and OB fleet models.
• EMG (Euro Media Group): Pan-European broadcast services provider offering OB, remote production, post-production and distribution across France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy. Same target customer segments (broadcasters, federations, rights agencies) and similar value proposition around centralized multi-event production.
• Timeline Television: UK-based broadcast services and remote production company serving BT Sport, Premier League and other tier-1 UK sports. Comparable customer mix (broadcasters + federations) and remote production capabilities, competing with DMC's expansion plans in the UK market.
• Presteigne Broadcast Hire: UK-based broadcast equipment rental and production services company. Comparable in providing high-end equipment (cameras, lenses, EVS) and crew for live sports production, serving tier-1 UK broadcasters and federations with similar technology stack.
• Gravity Media: Global broadcast production and content services company formed through acquisition of Gearhouse Broadcast. Competes with DMC on sports remote production, OB services and live event coverage across UK, Australia, US and the Middle East with similar Grass Valley/EVS technology base.
• Game Creek Video: US-based leading mobile production company for sports and entertainment. While US-focused, Game Creek is a comparable high-end remote/OB services peer serving tier-1 broadcasters and leagues (NFL, MLB, NBC) with similar production crew, technology and crew-reduction economics.
• LiveU: Provider of IP bonding technology for live remote production. LiveU's cellular/uplink technology underpins much of the same REMI-style production architecture DMC deploys (including at the17-arena Finnish ice hockey network), making it both an enabling technology peer and a partial competitor in remote workflows.

Regional players

• TVN Group: Hamburg-based broadcast services company specializing in OB production, TV studio rental and post-production for sports and live events in the German market. Direct overlap with DMC Production Germany GmbH (formed from Plazamedia + RT1.TV) on German sports broadcaster and federation contracts.
• Telstra Broadcast Services: Australia-headquartered broadcast services arm of Telstra providing global IP-based video contribution, distribution and remote production. Comparable managed services and IP connectivity layer to DMC's GlobeCast/BT-Tower distribution stack, though focused on APAC rather than European sports.

Others

• Broadcast Solutions Group: German broadcast systems integrator and OB truck builder that co-developed DMC's reverse remote production truck concept on Grass Valley AMPP. Functions as both a strategic technology partner and adjacent competitor in OB vehicle design and integration services across Europe.
