Going north ?

The news of more Radio 3 programmes moving to Salford Docks means that, by 2024/25 at least 50% of production hours will be made there. 

Hold hard before you collate that with 50% of Radio 3 staff. One of the longer programmes moving to Greater Manchester is Through the Night, six hours of largely non-needletime music from international public service broadcasters, selected and recorded by individual presenters. It's been going for over 25 years, and current presenters include Jonathan Swain (London), Donald Macleod (London), Catriona Young (Suffolk) and John Shea (London).
