MEDIA CITY UK at SALFORD QUAYS, Manchester | A futuristic new city!
We walk round Salford Quays and Media City UK where the BBC and ITV studios are based, and the Quayside Media. Gimbal Walk TV takes a walk around Media City to see what's there.
It's our first time in Media City and Salford Quays (although we have filmed Manchester before) so it is great to get the camera out and head down to see this brand new development to see what's there and have a look at the bars, restaurants, apartments, offices and the Manchester Ship Canal that runs through it
MediaCity is also home to the biggest television studios in Europe and some of the nation's favourite shows are made here, including Coronation Street, The Voice, Match of the Day and Blue Peter.
Salford Quays is an area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, near the end of the Manchester Ship Canal. Previously the site of Salford Docks, it became one of the first and largest urban regeneration projects in the United Kingdom following the closure of the dockyards in 1982
The site is the home of BBC Children's (CBeebies and CBBC) and BBC Sport, BBC Radio 5 Live and 6Music, as well as BBC Radio Manchester and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. BBC Breakfast, Match of the Day, Blue Peter, Mastermind, North West Tonight are just some of the programmes which come from MediaCityUK.
MediaCityUK is a 200-acre (81 ha) mixed-use property development on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The project was developed by Peel Media; its principal tenants are media organisations and the Quayside MediaCityUK shopping centre.
Coronation Street is currently filmed on a set at MediaCity UK in Salford, Manchester - where it's been since November 2013.
