Since 2005, KitPlus has been the go-to hub for media and broadcast professionals, offering the latest industry news, in-depth equipment reviews, expert articles, and engaging video content. But we’re more than just a guide, we’re a dynamic platform that connects buyers, sellers, and innovators through KitPlus Auctions, high-impact video production services, and regional industry shows throughout the year.
Our agility is our strength. Whether you need to sell surplus broadcast gear through our trusted auction platform, showcase your brand on video at our studio, on location, or live from major events like NAB or IBC, or connect face-to-face with customers at one of our regional shows, we deliver targeted, measurable results.
Sustainability is built into everything we do. KitPlus Auctions leads the way in promoting a reuse and recycle model, making it easy for manufacturers, facilities companies, broadcasters, and distributors to resell surplus assets. Our regional shows reduce the environmental impact of traditional trade events, and our remote production capabilities cut unnecessary travel without compromising quality.
We care about people as much as we care about the planet. We foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, support our communities through partnerships like Newbury Soup Kitchen, and operate with transparency, integrity, and a clear commitment to ethical business practices.
With KitPlus, you’re not just getting a service, you’re getting a partner that understands your industry, your audience, and how to help you succeed.
A big year ahead for the KitPlus Show where all venues see the floor plan increased, we'll be creating content at ISE, NAB and IBC and have regular auctions with assets available from many well known broadcasters throughout the year. We've been trading as KitPlus since 2015 and retained the tv-bay Limited name since we were formed in 2005, however in October 2024 we officially changed the limited company to KitPlus Limited.
A brand-new website, video interviews from ISE, NAB and IBC, live content streaming, weekly news shows, three KitPlus Shows and six massive, industry auctions with emphasis on recycle and reuse.
With roots in equipment and market conditions, the pressure grew to offer more selling options. KitPlus Auctions was founded and operate six times per year. Tradeshows returned, hundreds of KitPlus TV booth interviews took place and two weeks before the return of IBC in Amsterdam, KitPlus TV streamed a live, non-stop 12-hour marathon guest show featuring 120 exhibitors zoomed in to the virtual studio with five minutes each to tell the world why IBC was important. A totally unique, never-been-done-before experience which is being requested for 2023!
KitPlus TV continued to grow and evolve with a shorter format including a weekly news show and over 350 guest interview shows during 2020 and 2021. A podcast version was also produced for each episode. A notable success during this year was to hold two face-to-face KitPlus Shows under strict Covid rules enabling the industry to uniquely, once again get together.
A challenging year for everyone with the Covid pandemic, KitPlus Magazine was combined with KitPlus TV, providing a weekly video show including guest contributions, student experiences and much more with close industry partners. It was immediately successful, understanding and appealing to the remote nature of working during this period. KitPlus TV also partnered with organisations such as IABM providing the remote production and live streaming for online events (BaM Live) often covering multiple days of content with guests and hosts connected around the world.
Launched the KitPlus Show with annual visits to Salford’s MediaCity, as well as several other regional venues around the UK each year. Continued to publish and grow the monthly magazine, online show and expanded as the industry demanded.
Consolidated all offerings and opportunities to KitPlus.
The roadshow turned into the TV-BAY Tour and visited media hubs in Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol and London with many exhibitors, seminars and training sessions.
Streamed the first, live BroadcastShow - an hour-long mix of news, guests, demonstrations and competitions which became a monthly series.
The launch of ‘BroadcastShow’ which included video content from exhibitions such as NAB and IBC, as well as a small roadshow around the UK.
TV-BAY Magazine was launched and this grew from a basic 24-page listings guide to a monthly 150-page glossy industry publication, ceasing print in 2020 to make way for KitPlus TV.
The TV-BAY online advertising listings were launched at NAB, Las Vegas in 2005 and became an immediate hit with both private sellers, dealers and resellers worldwide offering a cost-effective route to market and alternative to the few other online platforms available at the time. Popularity grew rapidly from a few hundred to over 25,000 registered users in 2023.
