It is currently being speculated that the music television network is set to relocate its entire European headquarters out of London and into the huge Peel Media development.

When contacted by How-Do to check the veracity of the story a spokesperson for MediaCity would only impart that they never talk about potential tenants prior to official announcements being made.

A source within the broadcast community suggested to How-Do that contracts for a major new tenant were now at the stage of due diligence, but they refused to confirm or deny whether this was MTV or another broadcast firm.

MediaCity has also been strongly linked with home shopping channel QVC, alongside a number of US based broadcasters (including CNN and ESPN).

MTV... we're in the dark

In other, more tangible, news from the MediaCity camp, digital publisher NXTBOOK has spoken to How-Do about its new work to sell the development through a new online brochure.

The firm, which opened its Manchester office this summer, launched a digital edition of Peel’s brochure to engage with interested visitors to Code’s newly created holding site.

NXTBOOK’s Amber Stevens said that it was “natural step” for MediaCity to choose a format that encouraged “interaction and enquiries”, adding:

“The MediaCityUK website is still being developed and as such the digital version of the brochure enables people to find out what’s going on at MediaCity in a clear and concise way.”

Stevens also said that the business had now worked with “Bauer, BBC, The Times, Graduate Prospects and KPMG to name but a few.”
