VT Communications was essentially formed as a result of the privatization of the BBC World Service transmitter sites.
It provided transmission services to over 20 different customers from four main sites in the United Kingdom and many others in the rest of the world.
[1] It was based at the Blue Fin Building on London's South Bank, which hosted the company's broadcast Media Management Centre and where it formed part of Babcock International Group, after its acquisition on 8 July 2010.
When that contract expired, VT Communications was awarded the new licence and, following successful testing in early 2007, took over broadcasting the signal from its new location at Anthorn radio station.
The formal inauguration of the new facility took place on 1 April 2007, when the signal from Rugby was permanently switched off, and the name of the service was then changed to "The Time from NPL."
