Built on Legacy. Designed for the Future.
Media City Studios is a fully integrated broadcast and television production facility based in Randburg, Johannesburg. Formerly Studios on Harley, the business has evolved into Media City Studios as a direct response to the changing demands of modern television production and multi-channel broadcasting.
The transition reflects more than a rebrand. It signals a deliberate expansion from a traditional studio facility into a consolidated production and broadcast ecosystem designed to support premium content at scale, under pressure, and without interruption.
Media City Studios operates at the intersection of infrastructure, technical expertise, and broadcast reliability. The facility is built for producers, broadcasters, and content owners who require certainty, speed to air, and operational continuity across the full production lifecycle.
What Sets Media City Studios Apart
Media City Studios differentiates itself through an integrated model that combines studio production, live broadcast, post-production, and channel playout within a single secure environment.
We don’t operate in silos; we are fully integrated.
Media City Studios offers:
- End-to-end production and broadcast capability under one roof
- Eighteen independent broadcast channels with fully redundant playout
- Ninety-day compliance recording across all channels
- Direct fibre connectivity to all major South African broadcasters
- Load shedding independent operations supported by generator automation and UPS protection
This integrated approach reduces operational risk, streamlines workflows, and enables faster, more controlled delivery to air.
Legacy and Industry Trust
Media City Studios is built on the foundation of Studios on Harley, a name long associated with professional television production in South Africa. That legacy translates into institutional knowledge, technical discipline, and trusted industry relationships.
The evolution into Media City Studios formalises that reputation, positioning the business as a future-focused broadcast partner rather than a single-purpose facility. The studio complex is trusted with live broadcasts, high-value formats, and continuous channel operations where failure is not an option.
Studio Infrastructure
Media City Studios operates multiple sound stages designed to accommodate a wide range of production formats, from large-scale live audience shows to scripted series and specialised shoots.
