Looking through the Radio Times for next week i notice Nicholas Owen is down to present the six next Monday with Natasha, it is rather unexpected, i know most people thought that the most high profile bulletin he would get would be the Sunday lunchtime news summary, it is going to cause some confusion in the Midlands, oh well lets hope the Radio Times have got it right this time.

As has been said before, the announcement format for the Midlands is "This is BBC1 in the Midlands. Now the Six O'clock News with (presenter) and (presenter), followed by Midlands Today with (presenter) and (presenter)."

Good move, IMO. Nicholas Owen will be a welcome addition to the BBC1 news team. Many viewers will connect with him better than they do with George Alagiah.
George is best in the field, as has been mooted several times on these boards.

No its "This is BBC One in the Midlands, now the Six O'clock News followed in half an hour by Midlands Today with XX and XX." hence no reason to keep recording different annos.

Now Ben Brown has morphed into a presenter is anyone else finding Gavin Hewett's increasing appearances as
disaster correspondent
rather annoying?
It seems every time theres a big story at home, be it terrorists, floods, someone sneezing in London or what have you, they wheel him out almost as if a token gesture. Were this major story abroad we could have John Simpson, Jeremy Bowen, Clive Myhrie, Fergal Keane or Matt Frei to tell us how important this news is, but in the UK it appears its only big news when Big Gav comes along.
I'm not suggesting we go American and have Flood Correspondents but it just seems odd to me to have only one correspondent deemed important enough to be the bearer of big news, and one who I must say rarely adds much to the story.
