BBC extends dock10 deal until March 2027

MediaCity facility will continue to provide studios, post, and infrastrcuture services

The BBC has extended its deal with dock10 until March 2027.

The broadcaster has used the MediaCity facility since its launch in 2011, for both its television studios and post-production services. Long-running shows such as Blue Peter, Match Of The Day, University Challenge, and A Question of Sport have all been filmed there, as well as major events such as the Olympics, World Cup, and Children In Need. 

Recently, the studio hosted a surprise episode of Inside No.10 that took advantage of a virtual studio, and the BBC’s remote production of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Mark Senior, CEO at dock10, said: “We are thrilled that the BBC has extended their contract with us and feel that this reflects the close collaborative partnership we have built with their teams. Over the last eleven years we have worked closely with the BBC to grow and adapt our services in the fast-moving world of television – notably when the global pandemic saw us innovate with our virtual studios to create BBC Bitesize. We look forward to supporting the BBC as they continue to make world class content using our facilities.”

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
