Radio 5Live at MediaCityUK - with or without Mayo?
posted Nov 11, 2008 - 06:06 PM | 0 comments
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.)
