| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

Story here; http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a484710/coronation-street-studio-to-become-ikea-office.html?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=dsuk&utm_campaign=twdsuk For anyone who can't read it, in case of duff link: Coronation Street's current studio will reportedly be turned into IKEA's new European HQ.The external set, where the show's famous cobbles lie, will be sold to private investors when the soap relocates to MediaCityUK this autumn. IKEA's property division Landprop announced that it is "deeply excited" to become the owner of the 120-acre site in Manchester city centre. A Corrie source said: "IKEA are in final talks to buy the studios. It is a massive space and would be the biggest IKEA in the world. "The issue now is what happens to the cobbles. Sadly there have been no takers to keep the Street as it is." It had been hoped the nearby Manchester Museum of Science and Industry would take over the site. "You would be able to see it from the building, but this is not going to happen," the insider added. "Several private investors are in line to buy the space." "When that happens, it will be the end of the Street. The fans will be devastated. There is so much history there." SP Edited by slothpuck, May 28 2013, 10:06 AM.
