Emoa Productions

Emoa Productions is the programme production division of Emoa Television. Its headquarters are based in the Cheviot Studios, Newcastle, but it also has network production facilities in Birmingham and Oban. Originally a shared brand for non-regional productions by Emoa franchises (then NETV and GTV), Emoa Productions has gradually gained greater autonomy from Emoa's franchisees and operates independently from the current franchises, NETV and Mercia. All of Emoa's production ventures were merged in January 2011 as Emoa's regional companies became commission-based, and Emoa Productions was given a new management group.

Prior to 28 January 2001, it was split into Emoa North East Ltd, Mercia Television Ltd and Emoa Gael Television Ltd, in order for production quotas to be accredited to each individual franchisee. This split was removed on 28 January 2011 and all productions, local and national, became handled by Emoa Productions Ltd, whilst the regional franchisees commissioned their required quotas. Programmes continue to be "pegged" to a particular site of Emoa Productions, however, to satisfy regulatory demands.

It largely replaced Neptune Television's Neptune Productions division after purchase in April 2006, however the two-brands co-existed until October 2006 for different programming genres and production location.

For the July 2010 schedules, a new brand Flux Productions was introduced for Emoa's low-budget live programmes, Lovelife and Powerstation. It will also oversee a new online bingo facility and its subsequent advertising, to be launched in August 2010.
