In an interview in yesterday’s MediaGuardian, Nicky Campbell became the first of BBC Radio 5 Live’s star presenters to publicly commit to the station’s upcoming move to Salford’s MediaCityUK development.
However, Campbell poured scorn on such beliefs, as he opined: "When people say such and such a programme can't be done in Manchester we just look like arses."
He added that the relocation of five departments to MediaCity was a “massive positive move”, joking "it's not as if I am going to Helmand province."
The vote of confidence is a boost to a station that will undoubtedly be keen to hang on to its breakfast show host, and other key anchors, ahead of the move.
