Channel 4: Disappointing news for Nottingham


It was revealed earlier this week that Nottingham will not be shortlisted to become a potential hub for Channel 4. 
Channel 4 has headquarters in London but is looking to move around 300 jobs out of the capital city and into new creative hubs around the UK, as well as Main Hub. This is part of the Nations and Regions strategy. 


The cities that have been shortlisted for the main hub are Birmingham, Greater Manchester and Leeds whilst the cities shortlisted for the 2 smaller creative hubs are Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow.
