WHO WE ARE

Imam Hussein TV: A New Beginning

Following the establishment of Imam Hussein TV in the UK in 2016, we found our home in 2017 in a small ground-floor office space in Colindale. If you ask anyone where Imam Hussein TV is, they instantly say Iraq, Karbala and then in the UK, Colindale, known as “the building next to the Matalan”. Thanks to Dr. Sayed Ammar! We have outgrown this small but lovable space after seven glorious years. This place will be remembered for iconic productions and meetings, including some of your favourites, such as The Shia Voice, Live in London with Sayed Ammar, Ahkam SOS and Morning Barakah. We must now bid farewell to this space and look to a new beginning in a place we can call home for generations to come. All this time, Imam Hussein TV has been renting an office, but we are honoured and proud to announce that we are now actively in the process of buying a space. One that will serve as not just our home in the UK but will allow us to shift gears and kick into new, uncharted levels and quality of production without the worry of rent hanging over our heads and tightening the purse strings upon us. We need more space to not only accommodate more people but to have facilities to enable spiritual growth and professional development, special needs requirements, space for our youths, a studio fit for purpose, green screen rooms, a library, co-working space, and so much more to ensure that we provide all the necessary facilities to make it a holistic Channel home for our ever-growing family

Why We Need to Move

Many will ask, why do we need to move? For the sake of our viewers and the survival of the channel, it is fundamental that we grow and develop consistently. Without a secure and dedicated space to call our own, our progress is severely hampered. Currently, both the channel and its sister charity are constrained to just two cramped rooms, with over 19 staff members overlapping across departments. It becomes incumbent upon us to secure our future. The channel has always used foresight to provide for the youth and community globally when serving the Ahlulbayt. Despite many opportunities arising, for various reasons, we could not make them work. As they say, it will happen only when Allah (SWT) wills it. At this juncture, the new property in the heart of London presented itself, and we seized the opportunity with the intention (niyyat) that this new space would enable us to better serve the Ahlulbayt and uphold the high standards set by our productions.

The new space, spanning over 5,500 square feet, is the perfect place to establish a permanent home for the next 50 years. Our current office operates on a rolling contract, with rent increases each year we have been here. If we now buy a building and pay it off through donor generosity, the channel will have the opportunity to ramp up and expand production. This will enable us to bring to fruition many amazing new shows which we have had to hold back. We can replicate the aura and grandeur in many more productions.

Securing a larger space is essential not only for accommodating more people but also for providing facilities that enable spiritual growth and professional development. We envision a holistic channel home that includes

Our new space is a prominent modern hybrid multi-level facility. Currently, it features five office spaces on the top floor, all of which are rented out. The first floor has an open office plan that will become the main home for the charity and the channel. The ground floor, currently a car wash area, will be transformed into a new studio space that can also serve as a Hussainiyah to host weekly events for the youth in the area. Additionally, it will include two offices, a control room, a broadcast and server room, and a storage facility. The building also comprises four bathrooms and a kitchen space.  
The HQ is enclosed in 5,548 square feet, with allocated parking and 2 loading doors and bays, which will allow us to bring in equipment for major productions with ease. The facility also includes fitted office spaces. The top floor will continue to be rented to the current tenants, providing a stream of passive income that will help with maintenance costs. Our new home is in the heart of London, Park Royal, with direct access from the A40 or A406 and is within walking distance of the Bakerloo Line
