I got why they moved breakfast and sport along with children’s up to Salford, but part of me wonders what the benefit of moving the One to Salford would be.

When breakfast moved all the London presenters moved too. When any new presenters have joined it’s not as it theyve been from the north or had a regional accent. Apart from the titles and background on the screen there’s nothing to make you know it’s from Salford.

Moving the one feels a bit like a box ticking exercise so they can say “one of our national bulletins are from outside of London”. However if they send someone from London up to present it it seems pointless. As mentioned what about the other regions. I appreciate that they may not be set up to manage it but I can’t remember the last time I’ve even seen Norfolk on the national news let alone play host.

I also think what was the point of the massive move to new broadcasting house. Maybe I’m missing something but in my head I accept that it’s where the news comes from unless there is a major story which warrants it coming from somewhere else but even then I don’t always see the need.

If they want to have the regions represented have something like the one show coming once a week from a different region and running with stories from the area.
