The centre was built in 1969 for ATV. In 1981 ATV became Central Independent Television and remained in the building until 1997 when it was closed after being diagnosed with "concrete cancer". Most of the centre was demolished but the facade, exhibition hall and studio block were still standing in November 2009. Don't know state it's in now.

Here are my photos:

Nice looking lighting there,
I love the retro look to the offices and production rooms!

I can remember the first day of Central TV, so it is nice to see the last days of this studio.
