Granada talks recommence

According to the Guardian, talks are back on between Peel Holdings and Granada Television, to work out a way to bring the regional ITV broadcaster to Salford Quays.

It would mean both ITV and the BBC are here on The Quays, and the world famous Coronation Street would be re-built right next door to Manchester United and the Imperial War Museum North.

Bryan Gray, the chairman of Media City developers, Peel Media, told the newspaper: "ITV have a particular requirement in Coronation Street. I can confirm that theyv'e offered them a package."

Having the BBC and ITV in one site really is the long-term goal of Peel and Media City UK, and this latest development looks like the dream just may become a reality.
