An original article from Broadcast Systems Engineering in February 1989 discusses the launch of Satellite Media Services, “Since the creation of independent local radio in 1973, stations have used a variety of methods to collect centrally produced advertisements and interviews”.

A Dish At SMS Lawford Heath

As we move to update the content here on ex-sms.com, we have added some new photographs to the Satellite Media Services group at Flickr. These pictures, which I think come from early 1997, show the building works at the Lawford Heath earth station which went into service around that time. There are some images showing the building of the new control centre and the installation of some of the new dishes. I’ll try and get some further information about the dishes – because I know that’s what people are interested in – as soon as I can.

Welcome to the new look ex-sms.com

SMS Control Centre, Euston, London

If you remember this building then this might be the site for you. This is ex-sms.com and is maintained by some ex-employees of the satellite audio distribution company that was based in Euston Tower, London.

If you have any photograhic memories of SMS please upload them to our Satellite Media Services group at Flickr.
