I can't see the One moving to Salford unless they think people want 'dumbed down sofa news' as a national bulletin at lunchtime.

Their reputation as a domestic news broadcaster is already swirling around in the gutter. Turning on the taps to flush it fully into the sewer doesn't really help.

Yes, because I often think the quality of the 10 is driven by the desk Huw sits at… 

I think we need a bit of reality here. ‘Sofa news’ (I’m not really sure what you mean) doesn’t determine the news itself, it’s just presented in a different way. 

The 1 has always had a slightly different focus around consumer and lifestyle issues, although that’s become a bit more amalgamated with whatever the news channel was leading with during its time being produced by that team. 

The reality, of course, is that the BBC is looking to make cuts. Moving the 1 might not be the worst option; there is already a sustained news operation in Salford and there could be some synergies in terms of Breakfast features and possibly personnel. Personally, I quite like the idea of different bulls coming from different places.
