She's posting on social media for advice about moving to London, so presumably that's happening...
I do agree about the Salford issue. It's hardly a good look for both Radio 1 and Radio 2 to have the 'out of London' quotas filled by Early Breakfast (Salford for R1, Cardiff for R2) and Overnights on R2 from Salford.
However, Radio 1 do seem to make more of an effort on this than Radio 2...as they also have Weekend Breakfast from Cardiff & Weekend mid-mornings (and Sunday afternoons) from Salford.
