Dock10 to remain open during coronavirus crisis

Dock10 has issued a statement to say all its facilities – including all television, radio studios and its post-production wing – will remain open and operational through the coronavirus outbreak.

The MediaCityUK, Salford studios and post-production giant says all broadcasters, programme makers and production companies “are welcome” at the complex, although it has stopped housing shows with audiences and suspended all tours of the studios.

Dock10 head of studios Andy Waters, said: “This is a time when the nation needs to be entertained more than ever. While some show formats might need to change to accommodate the current situation, all studios are open and we would especially welcome live broadcasts and specials programmes. We recognise that ‘the show must go on’ and are going to do everything we can to help keep entertainment on air.”
