Bbc Breakfast News
Almost without exception, whenever BBC Breakfast News interviews somebody, the interviewee is in the BBC's London studio, so clearly people have no desire to travel to Manchester to be interviewed.
This begs the question, was moving our state broadcaster away from our capital a folly?

There is life above the Watford Gap though. Other countries function perfectly well with multiple centres which are utilised properly, it's about time the UK did as well, the fact that a lot of people who are interviewed are in London is to be expected and isn't really relevant as to whether the whole of UK news should be based there.
they haven't moved out the capital, this is the new broadcasting house.

The BBC News Centre is in New Broadcasting House, London. Not Salford.
That is why many interviews take place there.
The BBC wasn't moved lock stock and barrel to Manchester, most of it is still in London. The BBC has always had regional centres, and have been in Manchester (Salford) for a century.
There were several reasons for expanding in Manchester, but attracting more Z list celebrities wasn't one of them. Wages, costs, and rents are cheaper outside of the capital, so the huge cost of the move of some departments will eventually save the Corporation money.
It should be remembered, it is the British Broadcasting Company, not the London Broadcasting Company.
But please carry on with your misinformed, ignorant twaddle.

The queen visited the €1billion New Broadcasting House this week, and was interviewed by John Humphreys.
