If Granada Television are planning to sell off their Manchester M60 9EA base (or at least
large parts of it) what exactly will happen to the shows that are currently made there?
Does anyone know, or can anyone at least speculate, as to what is likely to happen with
regards to the studio sharing venture between Granada TV and BBC Manchester, where
a number of well known BBC shows like "A Question Of Sport", and more recently, the
new series of "Mastermind" are recorded? AFAIK, this venture was established partly
for the benefit of shows made by BBC Manchester, as there is more studio space
available for use at Granada TV, than there is at the BBC on Oxford Road.
Does this proposed sell off mean that bulldozers will eventually be seen on Quay Street,
razing most of Granada TV's original Manchester headquarters to the ground, only to be
eventually replaced by yet another needless block of fancy, overpriced apartments?
More importantly, if Granada are getting rid of their original Manchester HQ, what will
happen to Coronation Street? Could the production of the UK's most popular soap
opera, end up being moved from Manchester to Leeds, or worse, to London?!?
