Talking of BBC London we seem to have acquired a new weather presenter called Wendy Hurrell, presumably to stand in for Peter Cockroft rather than having a forecast done down the line from the duty national presenter.

Did any of the regions go into their local news with an ident tonight as the six finished properly, rather than with "now we join our news teams where you are"


They should have - you probably thought what I did here in Yorkshire that a crash into Harry in the studio just didn't fit properly.

Fine for the regions that start with titles, but a sting would have looked far better into the programme.

Exactly, it seemed a bit disjointed

I suppose they would have had to cobble an ident and announcement together as it's a long time since there was one before the main 6.30pm programme

But in Look North's case Ian White will probably have been in the building

Do Reporting Scotland have two versions of opening titles one with beeps and the other without? I watched the 6.30pm and the 10.25pm shows on friday and they seemed to use different titles for the two different shows.

BBC London reverted to the unused 2008 title music this lunchtime, scroll to 31.50 to see it.

However it was probably a mistake as the "ON TV, ON RADIO, ONLINE" bit they added to the end board after the first week or so of the new titles was missing.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I've just watched the online viewing of tonight's Look North (Leeds), and the very last item that was shown on TV was cut out, even from the headlines. I'm really annoyed because I wanted to catch something in the report that I missed.

Do the English regions normally cut some material out, because I cannot think of anything in the report which forced them to do so?

North West Tonight online normally cut out the sports stories because of copyright issues with using images from other channels, such as Sky Sports, Setanta etc.
