Gallery: Foxtel departs North Ryde for Artarmon

While Foxtel may be currently part of active discussions for a potential acquisition, it recently closed a chapter on its long-standing home at Thomas Holt Drive, North Ryde.

Earlier this month staff relocated to Artarmon joining FOX Sports staff at a refurbished building.

On Monday 2 December Sydney-based leaders joined CEO Patrick Delany officially re-opened Artarmon campus at a Town Hal and announced a new name for the Sydney home – Broadcast Way Studios.

Throughout the day leaders toured the campus, Welcome Pack gifts for employees included acai bowl breakfasts and coffee keep cups while senior leaders cooked BBQ lunches on a rooftop terrace.

Foxtel Group CEO Patrick Delany said, “Being in one place brings us all together for greater connection at our heart of live production, making collaboration easier, and giving us back that valuable time spent commuting across two campuses.”

North Ryde, which opened in 2006, is now available for production hire. FOX Sports opened its Artarmon base in 2013.
