ITV will begin moving into its new home in the west of the capital next year

ITV has announced that it will take on a 13-year lease of Broadcast Centre in White City from BBC.

The broadcaster will begin moving all its operations into the broadcasting facility in the west of the capital from next year.

CEO Dame Carolyn McCall said: “Our people have made it really clear to us that they want to build on the positive aspects of their experience over the last 18 months to have a more balanced approach to office-based and remote working.

“That balance will vary from team to team given the kind of work we do and we know that face-to-face collaboration is crucial for creativity and innovation – we’re looking forward to this new hybrid way of working.

“Our new office will bring everyone from ITV in London together and will provide the size and flexibility to enable everyone to perform their roles, help ITV deliver on our strategy as well as get the balance they want in their lives.”

ITV said it will start to move its teams of around 2,000 staff members to the 120,000 square feet of office space in White City  from 2022.

The broadcaster’s London staff currently share two facilities, one in a base in Waterhouse Square in Holborn, and the other in White City, where the station’s daytime programme staff are based.
