BBC North Group (current Operation)
See also: MediaCityUKBBC North Group is the name of the group of BBC departments that will soon be located at MediaCityUK, as part of the "BBC North Project", also called "Out of London". This group is then directly answerable to the Director General's Office and the BBC Trust. The group contains the BBC Sport department, along with CBBC, CBeebies, BBC Learning, BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio 5 Live, the BBC Philharmonic and parts of BBC Future Media. Also making the move is BBC Manchester Network Production Centre and BBC North West, but it is unclear as to whether these will become part of this group or not.
The project began in 2006 when Salford was named as the chosen location by the Board of Governors and in 2007 the go-ahead was given to the project by the BBC Trust.
The operation at MediaCityUK is now operated as BBC North by the BBC.

Famous quotes containing the words bbc, north and/or group:
“To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.”
—Anonymous. quoted in “Quote Unquote,” Feb. 22, 1982, BBC Radio 4.
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.”
—William Stafford (1914–1941)
