ABC operated three production sites and had a further sales office. The main production facilities were the [[Teddington Studios|former Warner Studios]] in [[Teddington]], [[Middlesex]]. Although this was outside its contract area, ABC wanted a [[London]] base, as many performers could not venture outside of the capital to record programmes because they were often committed to runs of theatre plays in the [[West End of London|West End]]. Upon the merger with [[Rediffusion]], this site became the main production base for the new company [[Thames Television]].

In the Midlands, ABC formed a joint venture with Midlands weekday licensee [[Associated Television|ATV]] to oversee the running of a production and transmission facility to be used by both. [[Alpha Television]] purchased a former cinema in [[Aston]], near [[Birmingham]], and extended it by the construction of additional studios and office space; the site was known as the Alpha Studios.

ABC operated a northern studio centre in [[Manchester]] and a sales office based in Television House in the city centre. The production facility was converted from a [[Capitol Theatre, Manchester|former Capitol cinema]] in [[Didsbury]]. ABC vacated both premises during 1968. ABC also made some entertainment shows such as ''Blackpool Night Out'' and ''The Blackpool Show'' at the [[ABC Blackpool|ABC Theatre in Blackpool]] (owned by ABC-TV's sister company ABC Cinemas). For its pre-filmed series, such as ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' (from 1965), ABC used its parent company's [[Associated British Elstree Studios]].
