The Mountain Media Center has announced the opening of its new 315,000-square-foot media facility, a significant development for live broadcast production and innovation. Located at 8900 Liberty Circle in Denver, Colorado (formerly the Starz Encore building), the center serves as a central hub for numerous broadcast technology companies.
Tenants include prominent players such as Mobile TV Group, EVS, VID30, Colorado Arts Productions, and ATEME. The facility provides comprehensive services, including media operations, centralized production, control systems, studios, and office space. It also features essential infrastructure elements like raised floors, satellite infrastructure, power redundancy systems, and four Dolby Atmos-certified audio rooms.
The facility's creation, spearheaded by Nick Garvin, aimed to build a site optimized for integrated live production workflows. “Mountain Media’s goal is to establish itself as the definitive hub for live broadcast innovation,” Garvin stated. EVS, a developer of live video production solutions, highlighted the location's strategic importance for its North American expansion. “This new office and industry-leading training facility are strategically positioned to allow us to better support our clients,” said Bevan Gibson, executive vice president of EVS North America.
VID30, a provider of media control systems, has established its headquarters at the center. Brent Bieber, head of media control at VID30, noted the facility's robust infrastructure and redundancies are crucial for their work with global streaming services. Peter Wehner, executive vice president of technology operations and engineering for Mobile TV Group, indicated the company intends to expand its services through this new center. Colorado Arts Productions also anticipates expanding its presence in the region's broadcast and film industries, according to CEO Cory Brangoccio.
Beyond broadcast capabilities, the facility includes amenities such as a fitness center, racquetball courts, and a café. A renovation project is ongoing, with completion expected this summer. The Denver metro area location provides access to a skilled workforce and benefits from geographical stability.
