I didn’t realise the BBC had a studio in Wolves?
Newhampton Arts Centre according to wikipedia - a contribution studio for BBC WM, like Coventry had before they brought CWR back.
With this lovely, faded, 1997 vintage sign https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5908301,-2.134912,3a,28y,13.76h,84.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stjXdR4JZ9gpC-AyHDTBjwQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
EDIT: from looking at the building, it's probably listed, but it looks very badly maintained. Wonder what the studio looks like inside
And literally, around the corner in another part of the building is the offices and studios of WCR - Wolverhampton Community Radio. I know a couple of old Pebble Mill (and 267 Tettenhall Road) lifers ended up helping out upon retirment. I'd have thought in the current climate, the use of a spare broadcast spec studio for WM and WCR is probably out.
There was a brief piece on the Breakfast regional news this morning, and the studio did look very Mailbox-ish in studio apperance set up and wall soundproofing.
Temporary radio station starting in Wolverhampton (splitting off from WM)
