Live Media Group Holdings (LMHG) announced the acquisition of Lyon Video, a video broadcasting (Outside Broadcasting) and production company based in Columbus, Ohio. The transaction closed on March 1 and marks LMGH’s fourth acquisition in the past three years.

Founded in 1986, Lyon Video says it maintains a fleet of 11 production trucks, including three that support native 4K/UHD production and seven B-unit trucks that provide additional space for graphics, slow-motion replays or second-screen production. The company also provides production crewing, equipment rental, turnkey live production solutions, production facility design and streaming services, including its own LYON CLOUD streaming video platform.

“Lyon Video has built their brand and its amazing reputation over the past 36 years,” said Brad Sexton, president and CEO of Live Media Group Holdings. “Their relationships with clients across live events, sports and broadcast markets have been earned through high-quality, high-profile productions. The reasons for the purchase were simple: Lyon Video’s assets are phenomenal, their engineering team is one of the most talented in the industry, and the Midwest location allows LMGH to continue to support client projects across the country.”

Lyon Video joins the growing LMGH team, which also includes Live Media Group, Live Mobile Group, TNDV and Harb Production Services. Combined, the operations represent one of the largest mid-level unit production companies in the United States. Lyon Video is another complementary company that will help Live Media Group Holdings continue to expand its national presence and strengthen live production and broadcast offerings.

“This acquisition is an exciting move forward for Lyon Video,” said Chad Snyder, president of Lyon Video. “By joining Live Media Group Holdings, we become part of a larger team dedicated to delivering live broadcast excellence. Our new home with LMGH will allow us to expand our services and depth of offerings to our clients.”
