History

Historical Context

In 2004 the BBC announced moving roughly 1,800 jobs from London to Salford, chose the MediaCityUK site in 2006 and completed the first phase by 2011. In November 2022 it said it would vacate Bridge House, relocating staff to Quay and Dock Houses by spring 2024. ITV’s Salford move, finished in 2013, shows the same financial pressure driving UK broadcasters to consolidate news operations.
