dock10 (television facility)

dock10 is a television facility owner and media services company in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England.

The move saw a number of major productions leave London for the first time and head north to Salford.

Their post-production shows include Match of the Day, Blue Peter and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

The idea for MediaCityUK began in 2004 when BBC announced that it was interested in moving hundreds of jobs away from London to another UK city.

[3] The Peel Group was involved from the early stages of this move, which resulted in announcing the construction of a 200-acre development in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester.

[10] Later that year, it announced that it was expanding its post-production facility, offering many services gained from the acquisition of Edit 19.

This studio was designed to meet the demands from creative agencies and digital content creators wanting to use professional facilities.

[15] The post-production facilities at dock10 were expanded in 2019 as part of a wider £5 million investment to meet increased demand.

[16] In May 2019, dock10 announced the launch of a new 4K UHD-ready virtual studio capability using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4.

[19] Channel 4 has commissioned a new peak-time Christmas-themed four-part series Buy it Now, to be hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.

HQ9 is the BBC Philharmonic's specialist orchestral studio at 6,400 sq ft (590 m2) with an audience capacity of 350 people.

HQ11 is actually a large outdoor space in front of the studio complex, and is claimed to be 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2) with an audience capacity of 5,000.

[21] HQ12 is an indoor mezzanine space at the front of the complex, with external views over HQ11 and the rest of MediaCityUK.
