It's been announced today that the shortlist has been whittled down further with the choice now between Birmingham, Leeds and Greater Manchester.

The choice for the two creative hubs will be between Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol and whichever two of the three cities listed for the HQ are unsuccessful.

I was with a friend who works for.Channel 4 at weekend. They have been told end of Sept. He thinks it will be either Birmingham or Leeds.

I think the general consensus around and about is Birmingham for C4. I wish it was Leeds but hey at least things are starting to move out of the south east!

Just for once it might be to Birminghams advantage being closer to London for the lovies.

It should be between Brum and Leeds really given the BBC set up at Manchester although I'm not sure if that will be taken into account.

My friend who works for C4 said the proposal from government behind the move was to aid investment outside London, he said Manchester is unlikely as already had investment plus he said C4 wouldn't want to be in same city.
