So Channel 4 has confirmed that Leeds will be the home of a new headquarters It means that the lion's share of 300 jobs will move to West Yorkshire although Channel 4 itself there reckon that as many as 3000 jobs will be created as a result of this move perhaps Laurie Bond can fill in some of the details tell us a little bit more about this decision Hi Sally Well yes Leeds is to be the new national headquarters 1st Channel 4 we heard this this afternoon just after 3 o'clock the city was chosen over Greater Manchester in a bid from Birmingham and Coventry to new so-called creative hopes will also be created neither of those though will be in Birmingham or Greater Manchester they'll be in Bristol and Glasgow interesting which means Manchester and Birmingham missed out altogether perhaps a sign of how Channel 4 likes to do things a little bit differently because this decision has gone against many people's expectation and it's the biggest change in the structure of Channel 4 in its history more than 30 city regions bid for this and at a board meeting this afternoon tunnel for said Leeds is the way to go and tell us about the decision to move away from from London generally well this was pressure from the government effectively Channel 4 as a public funded broadcaster is a bit like when the B.B.C. Moved up to sulfa and with the with hundreds of staff Channel 4 was told eventually it couldn't keep its London office that was in question for a time but it did have to move hundreds of jobs away from the capital so this is a 2nd headquarters that will be in Leeds $300.00 of its $800.00 staff will move away from the capital next year and the channel itself had said that those so much talent in the north that quite often can't just up sticks and and move to London and I've been hearing about that have a listen to this this is Becky Emma and coral who are all involved with lead student T.V. For she that's looking at where they're going to go next after they graduate there's very limited options after next you go to Manchester I go to London a lot it's don't want that you want to stay and then are if you. Want to be representative if you want to have local voices talking about local stories you need to get out of London you need out pace across the country moving to London right after university just seems impossible for people like you can't avoid it like you can barely afford to be like living up north some time some of us interested in. What will the decision mean for people who are already in the T.V. Industry has been laid sell or yard and what about these people who are trying to get into the industry well to be Clear Channel 4 doesn't make television programmes on its own so it commissions them by you know other production companies make them so these types of jobs based at the headquarters in Leeds are more likely to be commissioning based job an administration and that sort of thing will they make more shows here is the big question Channel 4 is already said it will spend 250000000 pounds on regional T.V. Producers by 2023 so they aren't just bringing people they are bringing money as well to invest in local talent and Channel 4 News will be on the move as well so they're going to launch 3 new news bureau chief for me to say across the nations and regions we don't know exactly where they'll be housed yet but that doesn't mean more jobs for journalists outside of London and it should mean more northern stories in the national news so it should be good news thank you very much Lara I were going to start now to Judith Blake who is the leader of Leeds City Council and I imagine is feeling pretty good how are you feeling today. Yes we're very excited it's been a long time coming and we genuinely didn't know until we got the phone call that 230 this afternoon so. Huge celebrations and really a reflection of the incredible partnership work that has gone into this bed we put we knew we put in a very strong bed we were delighted to be shortlisted down from the 30 to the 3 and this is just fantastic and I just want to say an enormous thank you to everyone out there who's been involved it certainly seems fantastic Was it a bit of a surprise see Judith. Well we we. At the bidding process built up a very very good relationship with Channel 4 and we felt it was based on trust and mutual sort of confidence that you know we knew exactly what they were looking for and we are in it together with our partner with local authorities and the secretary right across the area and just worked really hard to make sure that we actually answered all of the questions that they put to us and went into the they saw a bit so we knew we were a strong contenders but you know there's been a loss of noise in the media generally about Munster and babbling about the last few weeks and even notice that we didn't take them in a pot in but we just felt we wanted to carry on as we have done just building on a very good relationship and also. You know selling a very good product we've got one of the most creative areas in the country massive digital platform here very young population across Leeds City region reflecting very divest communities so at think really everything that Channel 4 have been looking for and all say I think if you look at them they have the country you know that there is a gap in New York and the northeast and we were delighted to get the support right across in the Northeast as the bidding process move forward and say we're delighted with the news but looking forward to working with Channel 4 to. Move forward for them and actually locating him we think at the end of next year but it's it's hot stress enough the impact this is going to have on the city and all of the sat across and as a say a very very strong base phenomenal companies already working here but huge anticipation that this is really going to. Lead City region well and truly on the map of. Great great productions we already have screen Yorkshire's we know and many other production companies and great. Great film coming out they are already said this is phenomenal and just I think the fact that Leeds will be one of the sites for the news national news coming out of Channel 4 every evening of the week is is is massive for us and you know those of us working hit know and the great things that we do here and we've been on a mission to go out and tell the wider world just how good. Things are and how many great things we do and I'm delighted that you know we've think this is a real breakthrough really putting that on the map and we've had messages from all over the country congratulating us and I think there's a real genuine pleasure in the fact that this decision has been taken to move Channel 4 out of its London base and to spread it right around the country and I think that's it's good good for the regions it's good for the sector and it's it's certainly I think I really think that China full will be very pleased with the outcomes that we can put together absolutely certainly a very very positive story where where is it going to go exactly. We don't know exactly there are several locations that we've put forward and that sort of work that we will be undertaking intensively over the next few months and in terms of it's great for the industry grateful it's great for. All of the viewing public when I see a difference do you think. Well I think you know there is a there is a view that it's too much of the news is southeast. And I think we might have lost Judith for a moment she going to come back is she coming back doesn't seem like I think we might have we might have just lost or saw it was a very very positive story right till the end. I travel B.B.C. Radio I think we've definitely got the starting line. Is great news for Channel fall is coming he. Is quarter past 5 let's have a quick look on the roads then with Sarah Sarah. Good afternoon or good evening Now really if you heading to towards Bradford time Strossen still blocked from the east bound side so for heavy traffic heading outbound and towards Canal Street that's where the closure is Canal Road sites queuing all the way north towards ring road who seem to be struggling as well Manning in lane and then he make you a inbound through on Thornton road and west gate as well just generally the other surrounding route seem to be struggling so I would suggest the still dealing with accident around the junction with Valley Road Keithy Chaffetz very busy heading on the AM bad night $6.00 to $9.00 as you're approaching on the Skipton road leads traffic delays out there on the A 50 am approaching towards whole back in the only gyrates rain we've had problems through towards bucks as. Bridge straight that's partially blocked apparently so as you heading through towards a Tinkerbell fishy race just south of MORLEY That's where the accident seems to have occurred I'm back to normal pretty much on trains running through Wakefield following an earlier point. If you spot a problem the number you need to pull 30123 when a 2 parking 50 minutes thank you sirens B.B.C. Radio and the headlines at 516 the Channel 4 chooses Leeds as its new northern base bring around $200.00 jobs to the area $600.00 jobs are at risk as the Yorkshire based meet retailer Crawshaw is goes into administration and 6 teenagers being questioned over a fatal stabbing in Halifax are released on bail by police why should why the becoming cloudy Apache rain and drizzle some hail fog to the minimum temperatures well quite mild compared with previous days 5 Celsius 41 foreigners thank you Clive . B.B.C. Radio. 5 I just feel about a bit of a sing song great guy excellent let's go for it yeah so 3 fall. Caps and I think. Say. And. I'm a while we do they separate out the salt sun the idea. We end the show with these are a quickie story or a good news story which is why I think today sort of falls into the latter bracket rarely and Clive is going to give his most of the story right now we see our job to fill in the gap with either the right answer because maybe you've seen the story maybe you've read about it maybe you've been talking about it or possibly just with whatever might lead to mine because you never know it might be right and you know what we just like it for a bit from our view of the wild stab in the Dalai Lama's Yeah I know more than 250 volunteers made a human chain to pass thousands of watts just 200 yards down the road have a think about why would you do such a thing what what would you pass. Trying to get it to get yes OK more than 250 volunteers made a human chain to pass tiles and so what's just 200 yards down the road if you'd like a little Bessie a very welcome give Isabelle 080389 double 3 double 3 you can text as a trouble 3 starts in that message with the word lead you can tweet his B.B.C. Leads you don't necessarily have to do any of these things of course because in about half an hour's time Clavell probably Bob back in and a very much gives the answer you can count on it. Just remind us right about what was yesterday and you know yesterday then in Cheltenham a woman was seen pushing a water in approach and the answer was a goose it was OK. B.B.C. Radio.

Radio Leeds commissioned fall on could mean rises to create 50 mini dramas on the theme of migration so these players with an all performed at the Leeds College of Music just next are under the banner of players I'm very pleased to announce the our engineers were also recalled at the time and there will now be heads on. B.B.C. Radio Leeds every Wednesday for a month starts in this very evening and here's our reporter Charles Hazlitt's with a taste of what you've got to look forward to. About you. Calling. In the most. Like teacher. Cash at the direct. Reaction to this has been phenomenal people absolutely love it which is I mean of the I knew they wanted but the actors have been incredible the musicians have been incredible the writing on it is amazing and all the people that have seen it so far all the tweaks that I've come through people just really identify with one or all of the plays and that's the great thing about it is that if you if you don't like one there's another one along and you will those something for everyone. Mr Goldman. Explained I've done your launch and I'm one of the musicians one thing that is so nice about this project is because we're doing it live each night there's a certain electricity that we fill each time we play it the it's constantly changing and it's constantly developing and we're trying to react to what the actors are doing and their emotions and like try and like manipulate the playing style summiting on that each night to be a little bit different London. The 2nd blast just under 2 hours later. By the time the day was out. In Leeds where we where the next day there was. No one knew what to do all that was going on so what sort of puts the blame at least which characters to play so I play Victoria in a piece of Savva in Exodus and Josefina and soon. So I was at the rehearsals What's it like now doing it for real it's so much different but better because we now have an audience which is great to kind of feed off that and I think it's just come together so well now so yeah it's really fun to do. Something. With. My name is Alexi work and my principal pace is Angela and seem cold but I read in the news reader and the broadcast from the war time this is a radio play how different is it to all the plays. In the past I have done a little bit of radio before but primarily I do a lot of theatre there's something quite special about being on Mike and the distances that we need to sort of like use to show where we are in a room we don't have to do that in theatre we just sort of like just just be there in the space and inhabiting a book it's quite exciting quite technical to the 2nd Jim if you face away from Mike you can hear me anymore so.
