We like to think all of our spaces are special, but our VERSA ABC Studio 10, a live magazine show studio facility on the top two floors of the ABC Building, is something else. Home to BBC’s Morning Live for over a year now, our VERSA ABC Studio 10 is the weekday morning home of the BBC’s flagship daytime television show. The 5-camera studio is unique with its incredible rooftop panorama of the city, making it the perfect spot for broadcasting live from the heart of Manchester.
The 5-camera studio has an incredible terrace and rooftop panorama of the city, situated in the ABC Building on Quay Street, just down from Deansgate. The BBC Morning Live show features a ‘northern powerhouse of women’ hosts made up of Sam Quek, Kimberley Walsh, and Sara Cox, who join Kym Marsh and Gethin Jones as permanent members of the presenting lineup.
The Morning Live team has made the studio their exclusive home-from-home as they celebrate the show’s 2-year recommission with extended show hours. The studio is suitably equipped with all the facilities, production spaces, dressing rooms, and green rooms that the daily topical and live series needs.
Charlie Ingall, Executive Director at VERSA Studios, adds: ‘With such a fast turnaround on the technical specification, we decided the best way to create and deliver this brand-new state-of-the-art broadcast studio facility was by way of a one-stop shop. Over the last year and a half, we have further developed the specifications of the ABC Studio, making it completely bespoke for the BBC Morning Live team’s evolving needs. We work closely with all our long-term client partners to deliver something unique every time.’
