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 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. This new home will serve not just as our base in the UK, but will also allow us to shift gears and reach new, uncharted levels of production quality without the worry of rent hanging over our heads and tightening the purse strings upon us.
We need more space not only to accommodate more people but to provide facilities that enable spiritual growth and professional development. This includes meeting special needs requirements, creating space for our youths, a studio fit for purpose, green screen rooms, a library, co-working spaces, and so much more. These necessary facilities will ensure we provide 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 4832 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:
Segregated offices
Elimination of rent costs
A library
Purpose-built studios
Husseiniyah
Office spaces for hire
A Little About the New Space
Our new modern, multi-level facility is designed to support our charity and media work while generating rental income. The ground floor, currently an office space, will be developed to include a large studio, control room, reception, broadcast/server room, storage, and a Husseiniyah. The first floor will be split between Imam Hussein Charity and Imam Hussein TV3, giving each team its own dedicated workspace. The top floor will feature multiple office units available for rental, providing a source of ongoing income. The building also includes four bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen for staff and visitors.
The HQ is enclosed in 4832 square feet, with 14 allocated parking. The facility also includes fitted office spaces. The top floor will be fully equipped office space for rental purposes.
Our new home is located in a well-connected area of Northwest London. With easy access to the M1 and A41, and just a short walk from Edgware Underground Station (Northern Line), the location offers excellent transport links for staff, guests, and visitors.
