A Channel moves on its...

COO of BBC North Richard Deverell said it was possible to envisage a BBC tv channel moving to MediacityUK, at a conference today.   There is, of course, still a major hurdle.  Manchester has no Michelin-starred restaurants - and it stays that way in the 2011 Guide. The last in the region was Paul Kitching’s Juniper in Altrincham, but he left in 2008. The closest are Northcote Manor in Blackburn and Simon Radley at the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester, both over 30 miles away.  The 2011 Michelin Guide has a record 53 starred restaurants in London, all less than 30 miles from channel controllers and commissioners in Television Centre and White City.  The nearest is probably The Ledbury in Notting Hill, at just 2.2 miles by corporation Zil.
