As part of ITV1 Westcountry's upgrade from tape based systems to a digital video
server system, Westbrook Communications was required to decommission the old analogue linear
edit suites. As much of the equipment and cabling was required to be saved, the old suites
had to be dismantled slowly and carefully. It was also required that the work did not disrupt
the other suites situated in the same part of the building. This work was undertaken out of
hours, to minimise disruption to the busy newsroom.
The studios at 97FM Plymouth Sound and Classic Gold Plymouth have recently been completely
refurbished. Westbrook Communications was responsible for decommissioning the old Central
Apparatus Room. This work was undertaken in parallel with the construction of a new racks room,
and much of the work was undertaken whilst the old racks room was still "on air". The work was
completed with no disruption to either radio service. Westbrook Communications also arranged the
removal of all studio equipment from the site.
Installation of a UPS system for the self-op studio and transmission equipment in the MCR area.
