Completely confused about what they are all about. Just seems to be a page trying to let / sell the old Sit Up Studios with a vague "media" business tagged on to it.
If it was just a front to LET the old studios; they wouldn't need a management team as large as they do have -- but the fact they are looking to LET the studios means they're likely not reviving any of the channels which died. Who knows what else may come of it though.

Looking at the website they appear only to be trying to let one studio and gallery (everything is in the singular not plural) - so could it be that they are looking to relaunch, but have a reduced requirement for studio space?
Interesting that a number of the names appear to have been involved in the early days, but part of the team that sold up in 2005?
I would **** my pants if bid or drop came back with this team; these are the guys who made it work from day 1. The collapse of bid shopping was arguably the fault of (aside from increased competition and changing market) the more recent management.
Nice to see the technical details of the studio and the gallery listed there - not that I can glean much from it. I wonder how much of it is as it was at launch.
Sit-Up... Lean Forward. Hmmm.... striking similarity in name there.
EDIT: Looking at http://www.unit11acton.co.uk/, it'd appear that they're looking to rent out the Price Drop studio complete with set. Makes you wonder what their plans are for the other 2 studios.
Doubt it's a rise from the ashes - according to Companies House, the company number on that website is active and has been going since August 2006 so I think it's an entirely different company from Sit-Up.
I suspect this is more of an exercise in generating some revenue than anything else. After all, there's a broadcasting facility sitting there doing nothing, and I dare say it's costing money to sit there and do nothing...
