Hide AdThe Majestic building in City Square was built as a cinema in 1922 and then became a booming nightclub.
This video shows the club at its peak, when thousands of revelers packed in for a New Year's Eve party, 1996/1997.
Do you remember it?
But the club fell victim to a devastating fire in 2014.
A report in Architect’s Journal suggested that the broadcaster had picked the city centre landmark as its building.
However at this stage Channel 4 has not confirmed the report and said it would not be responding to speculation.

Hide AdThe nightclub, based outside of Leeds railway station, was heavily damaged by a fire in 2014 and has lain empty for several years.
Channel 4's chief executive Alex Mahon told The Yorkshire Post last year that it would begin relocating staff to Leeds from this summer of next year.
