he lacks authority.


Agreed. I think he's brilliant on sport and light stories, but I can't take him seriously when it comes to serious news.

Argh! BBC overload! Four mentions on the end screen is excessive, and cluttered when they all occupy the same third of it.


Could be worse, it could also have....

bbc.co.uk/news/england/manchester (or Merseyside or Lancashire) on the tag aswell.

Noticed they added the box on the Lunchtime today, it just seems pointless, either have it as BBC North West Today/Tonight or North West Today/Tonight from BBC News, it just looks stupid having both.

Technically under BBC guidelines website addresses can only be showed to one level beyond the domain. Interestingly it seems an end cap is not something that was provided to all the regions. Depsite almost, if not all of them requiring it, and them all having similar information to include.

Chas says two BBC Logos is NOT a breach of guidelines as they have been edited accordingly.

Chas.

Oh, and you're talking about the wrong thing.

I think that Tony and Ranvir work relatively well together. Tony is a great presenter and a valuble asset to NWT, however as others said he performs better on lighter stories and sport than the more serious items. As a stand in for Gordan, Tony is fine but as a possible permanent replacement i dont think he quite has it.

I see former weather presenter Nichola Dixon has some sort of presenter role on ITV's Bingo Night Live tonight.

Announcement into the news at one said the news was with Kate and someone whose name I've never heard before. Then after the headlines there was no "coming up in the north west", we had what was coming up in the sport on the BBC NC. Problems in the north west I wonder?

The blonde girl who has been doing the afternoon summaries of late presented the 8pm summary tonight.

Interestingly presented infront of the studio screens, without the blue backdrop, rather than CSO.

Also, the 'Your news is our news' promo aired tonight still with the black/red logos on the screens but with an updated BBC News branded white/red endcap.

Jayne Barret presented with Tony tonight, i recall her doing a weeks worth of NWT a few years back.

Gordon and Ranvir must be off all week, only Dianne seems to be in at the moment.

Made a nice change tonight to have Tony and Jayne presenting, I thought they went quite well. Although you cannot beat Gordon at the end of the day.

The presenter from the 8pm bulletin on the 10.25 edition tonight.

Network announcement into the Ten and Dan Walker returned to the North West, albeit only with the sports headlines in place of the regional headline insert.

They really need to get rid of the scrolling North West Today/Tonight at the bottom of the 'window' screens. just looks tacky.

And they need to get someone to check, before going on air, whether it is actually 'today' or 'tonight' that should be in use! they have got it wrong a few times now!!

I reckon - if they HAVE to have the words - they should just sit once centred at the bottom of the screens and not scroll.

No, I think they should stay. At the beginning of the rebrand the studio looked really out of place as it was all blue and white, yet red was the colour in the titles - at least the bar gives it a bit of red. However, they do need to check the "today" and "tonight" as it has gone wrong before.
