#WMGeneration is the West Midlands' grassroots campaign to encourage Channel 4 to move to the area.

Channel 4 has been asked by the Government to consider moving out of London and #WMGeneration believes that the West Midlands would be the perfect new home for the broadcaster.

To showcase the incredible young, digital and diverse talent in the West Midlands #WMGeneration presents today's Social Media Live Day, bringing live performances and interviews from creative talent across the region.
