The BBC is to buy the homes of up to 1,500 staff and give them relocation packages of about £8,000 each as part of plans to shift operations to the North.

The corporation will spend as much as £16.5million of licence fee money to help an army of workers move house.

While private companies usually hand out attractive relocation deals only to bosses, the BBC is offering thousands of pounds to all grades of staff.

Despite pleading poverty over a £2billion funding gap, the corporation can afford to spend up to £3,000 on curtains and carpets for anyone moving near the new base in Salford.

Got to be good for the Manchester property market methinks?
Think I will start a carpet and curtain company in Manchester and start leafletting Auntie Beeb :D

lol that's actually a good idea.

Start a sweatshop in your house, save on production costs.
