BBC - Quay House - Salford, UK - Television and Cable Broadcasting Stations on Waymarking.com

In 2004 the BBC started a process to decentralise from London. Originally they planned to share a site in the centre of Manchester with ITV. However after a consultation process it was decided to locate to a new development on land that was previously part of the Manchester Port Company.

The chosen site was the last undeveloped site at Manchester Docks, an area that had been subject to considerable investment and was emerging as a tourist destination, residential and commercial centre. The vision of the developers Peel Group, Salford City Council, the Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company and the Northwest Regional Development Agency was to create a significant new media city capable of competing on a global scale with developments in Copenhagen and Singapore.

A number of buildings are now in use by the BBC and a variety of independent TV broadcasting companies.

This building, Quay House is the BBC's 135,000-square-foot (12,500 m2) main building from where BBC Breakfast, Match of the Day, BBC Radio 5 Live, North West Tonight and BBC Radio Manchester are broadcast.
