The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

On MT the plasma screen where Simon did the weather 'BBC MIDLANDS TODAY' was burned into it. Also i like those pillar- MT Logo thinys, a hint of the next incarnation of the MT Endboard perhaps?

What am I being blamed for now?

Please respond.

There's millions of years to go over, Nick!

Central News were showing off their plastic rain poncho's the other day, sporting attractive ITV Central logos.

Free from their summer tour bus if it rains.

MT have got rain ponchos too- for the floor managers,cameramen and presenters

Studio still knackered at 630 tonight!

Mollie was giving away a self cleaning fish tank this morning, so I said 'Don't test it there unless you want another leak !'

She also said she was bitten by an ostrich as well!

MT Studio was fixed in time for Friday's Brekky bulletins!

Anyone hear the classic weather mispronouciation of 'Shattered Scowers', uttered by Shabina Akthar at 10am on WM this morning?

Even a listener rang in (not me!) to query it to Les Ross, who proceeded to repeat it a couple of times on air! (The computer can do that apparantly!)

Mollie in for Janice for the next few weeks as well!

The Radio Times out today (5th-11th Aug listings) still lists Central News at Six , rather than Central Tonight .

But If Central News South are still 'at Six', RT may not put 'Tonight' ?!?! So, 'Central News' it is then, eh!!!

Anyone know if the news presenters write their own bulletin intros, as Chris James GMTV bullys are very welcoming, if not a bit OTT at the mo!

Is it my imagination or when the Breakfast MT presenters introduce Tomas Schfanaker(?), they don't believe it either?

Listening to Mollie at the moment. (Already had a mention !)

Sport is back this afternoon & it looks like the post match phone in is now called 'Extra Time'!

900 th edition of 'Network Gold' tonight too from 6pm.

Yes, the midlands gets TOMASZ WHATEVER for the weather
