It's four years to the day that 主播大秀 North moved into its new premises on the Media City site in Salford Quays. We're marking the moment with a selection of our favourite exterior shots showing what the site was like before building work began and at key moments during the construction phase.
Today, more than 17% of the 主播大秀's workforce is based in Salford where 主播大秀 Sport, 主播大秀 Children's 主播大秀 Learning, 主播大秀 Breakfast, 主播大秀 Radio 5 Live and Sports Extra, 主播大秀 Philharmonic, 主播大秀 Research & Development, 主播大秀 Future Media, 主播大秀 Radio Manchester, 主播大秀 Manchester and 主播大秀 North West are based. Some of Radio 4, Radio 3 and 6 Music's programme production also comes from Media City.

The Blue Peter garden was moved from its first home at Television Centre in West London to Media City, the programme's new home. The garden can now be enjoyed by members of the public.
The Media City site is also home to ITV (situated across the water behind Bridge House in the centre of this picture). ITV also make use of the TV studios on the site.
