MediaCityUK is a 200-acre (81 ha) mixed-use property development site on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The project is being developed by Peel Media, and its principal tenants are media organisations and the University of Salford. The land occupied by the development was part of the Port of Manchester and Manchester Docks.
The BBC signalled its intention to move jobs to Manchester in 2004, and the Salford Quays site was chosen in 2006. The Peel Group was granted planning permission to develop the site in 2007, and construction of the development, with its own energy generation plant and communications network, began the same year. Based in Quay House, the principal tenant is the BBC, whose move marks a large-scale decentralisation from London. ITV Granada completed the first phase of its move to MediaCityUK on 25 March 2013, followed in two stages by the northern arm of ITV Studios: the second stage involved Coronation Street being moved to a new production facility on Trafford Wharf (next to the Imperial War Museum North) at the end of 2013. The Studios on Broadway houses seven high-definition studios, claimed to be the largest such facility in Europe.

CLIP-01 The CBBC Interactive Tour at Media City UK, Salford, Manchester (19.02.2015)
At the weekend, I visited Manchester for the first time to check out the University and MediaCityUK (location to the BBC and ITV). I had a lovely time there and it was great to be staying right next door to the BBC. The University of Salford was amazing and its location is very good; next door to the BBC and below ITV. I filmed everything on my phone so the night time shots aren't the best of quality. MY SOCIAL MEDIA SITES: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Chloe_Wheeler Instagram: http://instagram.com/chloeeemay

I'm trapped here as my senses bleed
I can't recall which things I need
You show up late and stumble in
Unsure if you are still Corrine (??)
My captive gaze inside your eyes
Reveal a thing you've tried to hide
Attempting to record this view
Reflections drive me out of you
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
But long before this scene concludes
The end I'm seeking still eludes
My every effort to apply
My will to moments passing by
But everytime we say goodbye
The pain I can't identify
Reveals to me the hidden door
That leads to several moments more
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Time for the meatstick,
Bury the meatstick,
Take out the meatstick time
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Whoa, shocks my brain
Holy shit, that's making all kinds of rules
I'm not even going to go there
Hey just for a second, I'll just go for a second.
Oh, meatstick? Ah.. I don't know.. On a string?
Time for the meatstick?
Bury meatstick
Bury meatstick time?
Oh meatstick!!
Hey, that song could be the next cha cha
