In addition, it is also the home of CBBC series “Whoops I Missed The Bus”, CBeebies Bedtime Stories and other generic content such as the CBeebies Number Wraps, songs and other generic content. Presentation works closely with many teams, such as the Red Button, the Short Form content area, Marketing, Scheduling and Production (both Indies and In- House) to produce engaging wrap-around content for BBC Children's.

  • University of Salford Signs Mediacityuk Deal
    NEWS RELEASE 13 January 2009 University of Salford signs MediaCityUK deal The University of Salford has signed an agreement for lease with developer Peel Media for a new innovative higher education centre at the heart of the MediaCityUK development in Salford Quays. The University is the second anchor tenant at MediaCityUK. In 2011, when the first phase of development is complete, it will enjoy a prime waterside location next to the BBC, which has already announced that it is moving five departments (currently based in London) to the site. The new University hub will comprise 100,000 sq ft over four floors and will be linked to the University’s four faculties on the main campus at Peel Park. With state-of-the-art facilities, it will focus on employer-led and postgraduate learning and research collaboration, and will act as a gateway to the University’s full range of services for its industry and community partners. The University is already a higher education partner with the BBC, which will relocate BBC Sport, Children’s (including CBeebies), Future Media and Technology, Radio 5 Live, Learning, and all local and network broadcasting currently based in Manchester city centre, to MediaCityUK. The University’s centre at MediaCityUK will include a broadcast zone, digital media zone, virtual laboratory, digital performance space and creative spaces for use in academic teaching, project-based learning and user-centred design and innovation. Digital media specialist John Holland, a former Head of Interactive TV and Digital Text Services at the BBC, has been appointed by the University to lead its new initiatives relating to MediaCityUK.
