It's be located near the BBC's MediaCity headquarters in Salford, Greater Manchester, and the government hopes the center will be "national resource" to "meet the industries' needs", and take advantage of the BBC's Children's and Sports Department, Interactive Education and Literacy Department, and R&D operations.
