Overview In 1973 the engineering staff were moved from the existing London based IBA site to a new headquarters located at Crawley Court, Winchester.
Government changes to the structure of the IBA in 1990 resulted in Crawley Court becoming the headquarters of a privatised company to be known as National Transcommunications Limited (NTL), with a mandate to operate the IBA broadcast transmission network from January 1991 - the regulatory arm of the IBA having been devolved to form the Independent Television Commission and the Radio Authority.
The operation at Crawley Court continued to diversify during the period 1991-1996, trading as NTL in 1993, becoming a division of Cabletel in 1996 following the acquisition by the latter, then ntl Broadcast as part of the rapidly expanding ntl Group by 1999. In January 2005, the division was sold to Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group and the company headquarters remains firmly rooted at Crawley Court, now trading as Arqiva Limited.
