Giltbrook

Until the compilation of the new East Midlands headquarters, Central's East Midlands operations were based on an industrial estate at Giltbrook, near Eastwood on the outskirts of Nottingham. A temporary radio link from Giltbrook to the Waltham transmitter via BT Bowman/Sheriff (Nottingham) Telephone Exchange provided the contribution feed into the studio/transmission network. The building was officially opened on 1st January 1982, unfortunately the new complex were staffed by employees originally based at Elstree, which led to many problems due to the relocation, including industrial action, which resulted in a long delay before it become operational in September 1983.

East Midlands Television Centre

Central decided to construct new studios for its East sub-region, based in Lenton Lane, Nottingham, the new complex was to be called 'East Midlands Television Centre'. The Nottingham studio complex finally opened in January 1984, followed by an official opening by the Duke of Edinburgh on March 2nd 1984.
