Research out today suggests that if Channel 4 moved to Hull, it would not have a significant economic benefit for the city.

Think tank Centre For Cities have researched the BBC's move to Salford in 2010 and concluded it didn't really have any impact on the Greater Manchester area.

They think this would be repeated if Channel 4 moved its headquarters to Hull.

Mark Jones is the Director of Regeneration at Hull City Council, he says the city would be a fantastic place for the company to be based.
