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:
“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
