Doughnuts and fizzy wine all round at Quay Street with two big exclusives on Friday’s show .
They secured Victoria Beckham's only Manchester television interview and they were the first TV station to talk to Shanaze Reade since she returned from the Olympics.
We’re told there was much negotiation behind the scenes ahead of Victoria Beckham’s arrival in the city, but it paid off.
Hacking
Chatting to Granada’s entertainment reporter Caroline Hacking, she revealed how much the family miss Manchester and, of course, the Trafford Centre.
Yep, those clever PR types sent her some flowers to remind her of the great times she spent shopping:
"I used to go there a few times a week with David and Brooklyn."
We imagine the Trafford Centre PR gang celebrate with posh champagne and canapes rather than doughnuts.
As for exclusive number 2, that came via sports reporter Mike Hall. Interviewing Shanaze Reade in Beijing he discovered that she had two ambitions in life - to win an Olympic Gold Medal and to visit Coronation Street.
Sadly she crashed out of the BMX race, but she was able to hobble along the cobbles with Hall.
"This has really put a smile back on my face, I’ve been down for a few days," she said.
No rest for the wicked though, as head of news Richard Frediani is promising more exclusives over the next few days - and we know he means it because he kept texting us with potential headlines late into the night...
