Arqiva is the leading transmitter and broadcasting company in the UK, and has helped pioneer the technologies of the digital age. Twenty two million homes receive ITV Channel 4 and 5 through Arqiva's national transmitter networks. The company also provides transmission for most UK independent radio stations, both analog and digital, and end-to-end media solutions to the broadcast industry across terrestrial and satellite platforms. Formerly owned by NTL as NTL Broadcast, Arqiva was sold in 2005 for £1.27 billion to a consortium led by Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group.
