NEP Broadcasting said Oct. 12 that Sweetwater and American Hi Definition have entered into an agreement to merge into NEP's entertainment divisions and become part of NEP Broadcasting.
Sweetwater and American Hi Definition will work closely with NEP's existing entertainment divisions, which include Denali, a provider of mobile TV production facilities geared for entertainment events; Screenworks, providing LED screens, cameras and projectors for a variety of music and live events; NEP Studios, in Manhattan; Premiere Entertainment, a full-service production service for mobile and live-to-Web events; and Live Power, a power generation and distribution provider.
