In February 2010, the station's owners Guardian Media Group were reported to be in talks with staff regarding options for Channel M's future after the company sold off 32 of its regional newspaper titles, including the "Manchester Evening News", to Trinity Mirror for £44.8 million. and a month later, the station announced its remaining in-house regional programmes, including the flagship magazine show "Channel M Today", would cease production by Friday 19 March 2010. 29 of the station's 33 staff were made redundant. Several ex-GMG employees have since secured consultancy positions working on Salford University productions produced at the IMC. The station then broadcast a mix of archived programming, original output from Salford University and simulcasts of Euronews and Real Radio North West alongside some new programming from independent and third party producers. The station's in-house transmission and administration facilities were latterly based at Laser House in Salford Quays and managed by GMG's regional radio division.
