John - what makes you say that the Lunchtime News launches on 1 March?

BTW - I think your sig is bigger than the rules permit.

Ooops, I misread wrong, it said 1hr from March...

Anyway about the sig, it is 32 bloody pixels too much? Who cares about 32 pixels?

Local Weather? Maybe I'm wrong but it really should have read News; Weather... its not really Local?


Local weather is Local.

Yes, but isn't the weather at the end of the Weekend News National?

Ooops, now I've created a different signature that says March, oh well it'll have to do for now until I redo it...

Owen Thomas has been hilarious this afternoon. When the third report in a row didn't show up he just looked at the camera and said "Computer says no." Very little britain! Then they cut to a break.

I wish I'd seen that!
Earlier on he had a fit of laughter during the end of an hour. He was voicing over some pictures and could hardly talk. He asked Carrie to help him out but there was no sound from her, maybe she'd already gone as the hour ended with the logo instead of the studio shot. We never actually saw his face during this farce and he'd gone by the next hour

Does anyone know what time they plan to have the 1 hour lunchtime news? Will it go between 12-1 or 12.30-1.30?

Is that a guess or do you know that?

It's definitely going to start at 12.30 and run for an hour. The regional component will be 13 minutes long, but I'm not 100% about the 1.15 timing.

Coincidentally, that is the latest date Tony Blair can call a general election for May 5th, as the Proclamation and writs of election would need to be issued on that date.

Is it true they are also getting rid of the 3pm regional bulletin? If so what will they show between 1.30-.3.15?
