Rushmans Secures New Lease on Life for Big Blue Olympic Studios

.Rushmans Big Blue formerly known as OBS Tower

Big Blue, the Olympic Broadcast Services tower designed, assembled and commissioned for London 2012, has been saved from the scrap heap and will be available to broadcasters covering events worldwide.

Big Blue was home to rights-holding broadcasters from five continents during the London Olympic Games.  In 2012 configuration it consisted of ten 50m2 by 5m tall broadcast studios 11m above the ground. In addition it provided six covered stand-up positions and 500m2 of concession space on the ground floor during Games Time.

Now Rushmans Broadcast Structures, which provided and managed  facilities for  ESPN, NBC and others during London 2012,  is to ensure a positive broadcast legacy for Big Blue Studios. It has secured rights to provide the facilities in their entirety or groups of individual modules across UK and all international markets.
