sgtkate   10 #27 Posted June 13, 2017 Why so? Just as it's a bad idea to have only a few media-owners, it's a bad idea to have only a few media locations. Example: London. See?  I said logical Jeffrey, not best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jeffrey Shaw   90 #29 Posted June 21, 2017 At the end of the day companies tend to base where the bosses would most like to live so I can't see them choosing Sheffield over Manchester But media companies tend to be based where their 'talent' (employees, esp. 'stars') want to be. Sheffield has a reasonably good hope of preference, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
xsf7 Â Â 10 #30 Posted June 21, 2017 Public sector companies tend to be relocated to areas that require investment (such as Manpower at Moorfoot). There is also the argument of decentralisation - moving everything to Salford Media City is just recentralisation. Â The "northern power house" should be about more than Greater Manchester.

Renegadeboy   10 #34 Posted July 13, 2017 Article about Liverpool making a bid and many other possible locations mentioned. Sheffield not mentioned at all.

Just another lame attempt by the powers that be at Sheffield City Council to attract or plan anything substantial? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-40591447 Yet the fact that one bid was made does not in any way tell how many other bids were made. Plus the bids aren't made to the BBC anyway. So isn't it all just idle speculation at present? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
