Breaking news today makes the long standing rumours official. Granada Studios is moving from Manchester to Salford's Media City. They estimate their arrival date to be 2012, according to the Guardian (thanks to regular blog reader Annie for the heads up! You can read the whole history of this move on her blog, over here.) A new studio will be built in addition to offices. There is also a video news release at ITV's site here and there's a bit more detail here.
