It was originally home to British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB) television in the late 1980s, and took its name from its first owner's Marcopolo satellites. Part of the building was also used by The Observer newspaper until the newspaper moved into the offices of its parent, The Guardian. When BSB merged with Sky to form BSkyB the new company kept the lease, and in 1993 the building became home to shopping channel QVC's studios and offices.
