BBC are moving breakfast show to MediaCityUK
More than three hours of live output each weekday to come from Salford
After days of rumours and speculation a decision has now been made to move BBC Breakfast to MediaCityUK, the BBC’s new base here on Salford Quays, Manchester's waterfront.
The move is part of the BBC's measures aimed at building a new relationship with audiences across the UK from their base here which opens next year. Teams from BBC Sport, Children’s, Learning, 5 Live, FM&T and all staff in BBC Manchester are already due to relocate.
Sinead Greenaway, CEO of Peel Media said:
“We at Peel Media are delighted that BBC Breakfast will be joining us here at MediaCityUK. They bring informative news and features to millions of viewers across the UK each weekday morning and we are pleased that this established network show will broadcast live from Salford Quays. It is a testimony to the BBC's commitment to make their new home here at MediaCityUK a success”.
The BBC will use the move of Breakfast to build on the show's current success and enhance its strong reputation for providing news and features from across the UK.
