The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

i guess theyd have presenters standing by in the studio anyway incase the OB goes down, so it makes sense to introduce the newsround up from there.

with the mini tornado in brum this afternoon, lets hope midlands today do an over the top "Earthquake Special" type programme tonight - as they did after the dudley earthquake.

yes but the only needed one inn the studio, Phil Upton metioned Joane getting wet on BRMB this morning and played a song for her.
AND CONGRATS TO THIS THREAD FOR GETTING TO PAGE 100.
And well done TV MERCIA after it was only fiiting it was you.

yes her hair was like an old mop towards the end



yes, pink champaign all round, 100 pages of pure midlands innovation is certainly something to celebrate.

I feel like i'm missing out on the fun.

By the time I put Central News on, they'd gone off the tornado and the silly lincs weather blocked the sky dish up!

GMTV were flying the flag for Central the other morning, when those kings heath terrorists (ho ho, how unusual) got arrested, crediting the reporter as coming from "Central Television" on the aston!

Believe me it's no fun. I'm in a street still closed off from damage, we raced home tonight as we saw the substantial damage to buildings 100m away on pictures on the web. Fortunately our house is ok as the tornado turned the other way over the main road. A friend in Moseley has lost all the front windows though.

The terror arrests were in Small Heath by-the-way, not Kings Heath.

good to hear kays lunchtime midlands today is now bringing in 41.7% share - above the england average for the bulletin whilst the 6.30 bulletin is pulling in 29% compared to central news' 20%.

"This is an emergency appeal for the BBC"

Has Anyone seen this women?

Suzanne's been back for a week now!

I did mention it last week!

Les Ross is sitting in for Danny Kelly, reversing the arrangement from a few weeks back, when Danny sat in for Les on Sundays. (According to my boss, this is the first time Les has done a proper daytime show, unless anyone knows different) & a 7 day stint for Les too(?)

Trish Adudu continues to sit in for Paul Franks, while next Saturday is Tony Butler's last sit in for Gaunty, then he's back the week after.

Keith Middleton has been sitting in for both Daz Hale & Danny Kelly, at some point over the past few weeks, which will please the Keithy Boy fan club on both Digital Spy & UK Radio.Com.

Anyone know where Sally James is now broadcasting, or is she concentrating on the school uniform business she's run for the past few years?

Yeah sorry, I've just got back from a month in the wonderful Italian sun and well she was gone when I left and TMK she wasn't on on Friday.
Anyway thanks Westy. And while I'm at it where Nick?

Is it me or has Micheal changed his hair style? Maybe he's had it like that for a while and I haven't noticed, but it doesn't seem to be as brushed back as it used to be.

I hope Bobs ok i presume he is on holiday.

maybe he's changed shampoo - it has lots some of its volume

as i'm sure you've all read your sutton observers - i hope to see you all at nick owen's pimms on the patio at ashley blake's ever so trendy pub "the place2b" on chester rd in the royal town.
