VT Communications was a company that was a part of VT Group plc. VT Communications was essentially formed as a result of the privatization of the BBC World Service transmitter sites. It was initially named Merlin Communications, then, after acquisition by VT, VT Merlin Communications. 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.
In 2003, the VT Communications was awarded a £228m public private partnership contract to operate the Defence High Frequency Communications Service for a period of fifteen years on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.[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.[2]
