Radio 5Live at MediaCityUK - with or without Mayo?
posted Nov 12, 2008 - 12:06 AM
Simon Mayo apparently doesn't want to relocate to Salford when BBC Radio 5Live makes the move to MediaCityUK.
But it's worse (better?) than that - Iain Dale has a list as long as a footlong baguette of 5Live presenters who are also 'unlikely' to reposition themselves - "So what we are looking at is a completely new presenter line-up on the news and current affairs programmes." (!)
It's just the latest in a growing trend of stories about BBC staff who are not entirely happy at the MediaCityUK move. Hopefully this mini-exodus from 5Live will pave the way for some fresh Northern talent...
(In case you were wondering - Simon Mayo will be ok, he is apparently going to replace Ken Bruce on Radio 2, but not until 2011. Goodness knows what will happen to Ken Bruce.)

Not a lot of MediaCityUK news to report since the ITV bombshell, except perhaps this article from the FT about the positive impact MediaCityUK is likely to have on Salford and the surrounding areas. The article also provides a quick introduction to the local housing market - useful if you're looking at relocating to Salford. Mar 26, 2009 - 11:04 PM
Debate about the BBC's staff relocation packages continues to rumble on and on - Liz Hunt at the Telegraph says, "I can't be the only taxpayer with northern credentials who feels insulted by the implication that having to up sticks from the South East is akin to an enforced relocation to Mogadishu or Harare." (full article here). Meanwhile, Andy Spinoza at How-Do offers some relocation advice to BBC staff - "Some media people will find the value, community, and friendliness on offer in the likes of Monton and Eccles more appealing than the fancy nick-nack shops of Didsbury..."
