Dock10, one of the UK’s leading television facilities and post-production houses, has a new name: MediaCity Studios and MediaCity Post, respectively.
MediaCity is currently acting as the nerve centre for delivery of the BBC’s FIFA World Cup coverage, showcasing another example of the facility’s excellence in sports production.
The MediaCity Studios and MediaCity Post teams are delivering a highly complex solution for the BBC that combines multiple tracked cameras with in-studio LED screens and multiple virtual studio environments, together with high volume, fast-turnaround post-production in HDR.
This setup is built on a deep eight-year partnership with BBC Sport across the likes of Match of the Day, Champions League and UEFA European Championships.
The move comes as part of MediaCity’s new strategic vision under the progressive leadership of new CEO Alice Webb and owners Landsec, as they look to evolve MediaCity to a creative brand in its own right.
“MediaCity has always been where bold ideas happen,” said Alice Webb, CEO of MediaCity. “Ideas that entertain, inform and inspire audiences around the world. Bringing our studios and post-production facilities under the MediaCity banner reflects our ambition to build on that legacy and to continue to create a seamless ecosystem where creativity, technology and culture effortlessly come together and shape the future.”
In the 15 years since it opened, dock10 has gained a reputation as a first-choice production partner for global names including the BBC, ITV and Netflix, as well as leading production houses such as Magnum, Whisper TV, Quay Street Productions and Wall to Wall.
It has also achieved widespread recognition for its commitment to innovation, particularly in virtual production.
“MediaCity is a platform that turns creativity, technology and culture into scalable, long-term value for audiences everywhere, just as we are doing with the BBC for the World Cup,” added Webb.
“MediaCity Studios & MediaCity Post are central to that offering.”
