Our Story
National Mobile Television (NMT) was founded in 1968 and operated as a division of the King Broadcasting Company. In 1992 the company was spun off as an independent entity, and then it was acquired by Oaktree Capital Management (a private equity firm) in 1997. The company grew rapidly during the 1990s, mostly through acquisitions including VTE, John Crow Productions, CTV (UK), and LFI. The current management team took over in 2000 and spent the next five years rationalizing the acquisitions and paying down debt. In 2005 the company divested CTV and sold off a portion of its fleet to NEP and used these proceeds to pay down debt and position for future growth. In 2006 the company was recapitalized by Candlewood Partners, with management receiving a significant share of the equity. Candlewood Partners has a majority of the equity.
NMT currently operates a fleet of 24 state-of-the-art mobile units in the United States and produces over 2500 live events per year. NMT's fleet has a diversity of units from HD to Analog and from 53' double expandos to the recently added 30' Side By Side Units. The Corporate headquarters is located in Los Angeles with branch offices in New Jersey, Orlando, Dallas and San Francisco.
NMT has three business units: NMT (trucks and crews for live events), Venue Services Group (Systems Integration and site management) and AEG Teleworks (a 50/50 JV with Anschutz Entertainment Group to run the Staples Center in Los Angeles).
