Swansea bids to host Channel 4 08:15 - Mar 20 with 9217 viewsCopperJack

Unfortunately, as we know, Cardiff has also bid and received support from the Welsh Government, so no doubt where it'll go.

However, perfect opportunity to write to your AM and the Ken Skates to explain why Swansea should get it

Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport
Ken Skates: Correspondence.Ken.Skates@gov.wales

My focus will be on;

* Spreading wealth & economic recovery
* Avoiding the mistakes of England - focussing too much wealth in SE giving a lop-sided economy
* Ensuring Labour appears to treat all areas the same. No preference for the affluent
* Ties in with City Deal
* Carmarthen got S4C, Cardiff got BBC. We'd be a perfect halfway between them both.
* Welsh Government closed BBC offices in Swansea to create more wealth in Cardiff. Also went against all logic to put the MTC in Cardiff. Spent billions regenerating Cardiff, yet less than £100m on Swansea.

Please write. It'll take 5 minutes. If you don't know who your AM is, or their contact details, they can be found here: http://senedd.assembly.wales/mgFindMember.aspx

Would the likes of Rachael Riley be willing to move to Swansea to work everyday? I’d be more than happy to volunteer to show her around.

It’s already a done deal. So much media already based here or moving. Central square, where the BBC and hmrc are moving, amongst others, are creating 1000’s of jobs right by central station. I wonder if this is where channel 4 will locate? Media city, as it will be known. The skyline is changing from eeek to week. I dont think there is a city in the UK like it currently.


Nothing like Birmingham. Building work going on there on a massive scale. Proper high rise buildings, the national headquarters of HSBC etc.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

Cardiff and even moreso to an extent, Swansea, have the same issue - logistics. I highly doubt any sort of media-luvvie company will want to be based in a place which is a bit of a nightmare to get to and from.

Even the football club have admitted the logistics bring its own challenges in bringing in players.

Swansea should focus on attracting any sort of investment/business of course, but manufacturing, tourism and natural resources should be top of the list. Play to your strengths, media in wales really isnt one of them


They're keeping London but creating 3 hubs, one of which will be a new HQ (nominally, as they will still be based in Victoria where they are now).

I'm sure Cardiff will probably be a hub, but the smart money is on Birmingham getting the new HQ.

I see you more as a cravat type, than cycling shorts though. And there's no way your legs are as good. If they are though drop me a pm

Can we extend a warm welcome to Suzie Dent as well while we’re at it?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Oh yes, she must have a painting of herself in the attic.
