BBC Midlands Today

Not to mention the fact that this is TV Forum rather than Radio Forum - there's a space for that on Metropol.

Obviously, there are pretty major links to BBC WM so if a major name leaves or fire alarm goes off, you can probably justify a mention. But Westy just goes on about WM like everyone on here listens, we all know who Mollie is and we know about the things Joanne Malin goes on about.

Ho hum.

Why don't you lot just ignore my posts, if it bothers you?

Oh & by the way, a bit of finger trouble locally at 630am.

Locally we lost Network sound for about a minute & during that gap, we cut locally to the Wm/C&W Olympic slide !

Suzanne Virdee is taking the BBC to an employment tribunal.

God save our gracious Kay, Long live our nobel Kay, God save our Kay...

Just a quick mention, according to MT Facebook, that there will be no 1025 on Friday 27/7, as the Olympic Opening is on.

The national Ten is on Bbc2 though.

(Source next weeks RT)

I think there's a quick update at 2000 though according to some listings. Whether this will be more than the usual 2000 thingy, who knows...

Ellie Crisell said on Twitter that the 8pm update won't air during the Olympics. Whether that includes the opening ceremony, I don't know.

YAY!

With the news that Free Radio's Caroline Martin is replacing Jo Malin on WM, it may be that she's moving over to MT.

That'll please my mate at work, as he's a Malin fan from her Central days.

What happened with the rumour that MT was going single headed?

Let's assume its still 2 presenters, Nick as main male, with Mike Collie & Giles Latcham as stand ins.

What about the ladies? Since Suzanne's shock departure, it's been a mixture of Mary Rhodes, Jackie Kabler & Sarah Faulkland. (They could also use Shefali, but she's mainly Sundays!)

If it is Jo, I would say it's to replace mainly Jackie, as she is freelance & does work elsewhere. (I could be wrong here, but BBC Shropshire's Keith Middleton(I'll say Shropshire, as besides the weekend Late Show, he does cover on Shropshire mainly!) also used to work on Signal Stoke & what was The Wolf, besides his BBC work & I don't think he works for Signal group of stations, as I think I heard/read that he was asked to concentrate on one or the other, but I could be wrong!)

Mary, I guess will be mainly filming 'Inside Out' soon, so she'll be unavailable most of the time, so that leaves Sarah, so another female is needed. (I guess Jo would be the lead presenter too!)

Talking of Ms Virdee, any news on the court case front lately?
