Hmm not to sure. Love the mailbox but to me the studio ( which is great ) is slightly let down by the graphics - which look no where near corporate.

Well i really like the North West Tonight studio since they got Gordon out of that trult awful box it makes it so much more watchable
Worst Look North with Carol Malia, she seems rther patronisingnwhen she talks to the viewers, as if were stupid. The studios well used BUT is in seriuos need of a re vamp even if it were just a new screen and a lick of paint, she sems to be the only one ever in that studio so it wastes a lot of space.
I quite like South Est today, but who is the main presenter with Beverley? Though it used to be Giles but havent seen him around, shame he was a good presenter, the others dont seem to have as good a rapport with Beverley is it?
Yeah reporting scotland is dire but at lest it dos not look like n old wooden box as with look north

Geoff Clark replaced that awful Giles. Yes Beverley Thompson presents alongside. The programme has improved a vast amount just due to Geoff.

why would they need to be corporate? it is a programme produced by bbc midlands, not bbc news. i can understand the need for the national news and news 24 to look the same, but nothing beyond that.

Midlands Today. No contest, not just because of its state of the art studios and building but lets not forget the brillaint Banter, every night and between anyone on the programme. It seems there are all genuinely friendly. Theres also some real broadcasting icons, not least Kay Alexander and Nick Owen.
And oh course theres titles for every day/night time programme.
Sheer class. Wink
