It looks like BBC staff moving to Salford will have a relaunched Channel M to watch, produced just across the dock.
The regional tv station has moved alongside GMG's radio stations at Salford Quays, and though currently just ticking over with four staff playing out repeats, free content and student output, it expects to return to original programme-making in spring next year.

GMG has now transferred control of the station to its regional radio station division ahead of the relaunch, and new boss John Furlong joined two months ago from Ofcom, where he worked in commercial policy, to take control of the station’s revamp.
He told Press Gazette “We are very fortunate that we have got a radio news hub in the same building as us who are extremely supportive and are very keen to get stuff on TV. We are equipping their journalists with cameras and they will be gathering video for us.”
