Update: the latest on this story can be found in this article - 'MTV wants its MediaCityUK…or does it?'

--------

The MediaCityUK rumour mill is in full flow after rumours that a major worldwide media company is about to announce it's move to MediaCityUK.

Currently topping the list are MTV, Sky, CNN, Al Jazeera, ESPN and TV5.

Actual details are slim, but the company is apparently a well known global brand, and we can expect more details within the month. MTV certainly seems to be the current front-runner, so watch this space.

Whoever it is will be joining the BBC, ITV/Granada, Salford Uni and.... QVC. We wrote about MediaCityUK's need to attract big hitters a little earlier in the year.
