ok, i was reluctant to create a whole new thread for this, so id understand if it was closed...
but ive redesigned my site with more content than ever before.  the purpose of the site is to concentrate on television in the west midlands region (bbc one & two midlands and central west).

after the initial redesign, i will be adding more and more pictures and audio as i get round to it.  i hope the site will offer something different that other presentation websites - though that remains to be seen.

if you do take a look, in the midlands at westminster section, youll see a young steve le fevre (from the biggest game in town)

any comments would be welcome

That's what the forum's here for!

Nice site. Always good to see regional presentation.

A truly fantastic site! Loads of images - just what I like to see. Smile

Also, well done for finding those Midlands at Westminster pictures, I remember the old days of M@W including the when the set looked very, erm...intresting.

Just on a Midlands TV note, give Michael Collie more air time on Midlands Today instead of just the weekends. He is a fantastic presenter!

update:
new christmas page opened
- featuring the stylish central news xmas tree

updated mistake page
- with another midlands today screen fault
- the loss of viewpoint midlands resulting in BBC TWO South (south on sunday)

hope to spend sometime over christmas wading through my screen caps, selecting some, resizing them and jpeging them - to steadily build up the content on the site. although i am still looking for reasonable priced web space, so if anyone can recommend anywhere id be gratefull.

Very nice job on the site Andy. Great to see local TV presentation. Hope there's more sites like this to come.

I'm wondering, will you have the generic Central News titles online?

thanks, i meant to link to your site before, but i couldnt remember whether your's ended with a .com or a .ca when i created my link page, but ive just added you today.

at the moment im limeted to audio and pictures, untill i find somewhere decent to host the site, and yes ive been meaning to add the new central news titles, but ive been gathering some .wavs together to try and create a clean version (by pieceing clean bits together) - but im missing the initial bed, and another part - but ill do it eventually! - ill add the normal audio of the titles asap though.

i wont bother adding the midlands today titles though, as there are mp3s widely available - as its used everywhere.

any comments/content welcome
