The BBC has extended its contract to use Salford-based television facility dock10 until March 2027.
dock10 will continue to provide television studios, post production and infrastructure services for the broadcaster.
Since opening in 2011, dock10’s ten purpose-built television studios and post production services have been used by the BBC to make hundreds of hours of television programmes, including Blue Peter, Match of the Day and A Question of Sport, as well as events such as the Olympics, FIFA World Cup and Children In Need.
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.”
