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.


Franksy Friday phone in came back, plus Butler returns on Monday at 7pm.

Football coverage is now called 'The Match' ? (Why?)

Poor Shabina was a bit delicate this morning, as she told Les Ross she'd been out with the newsroom for drinks the night before.

Les had fun with the voice changing facility on the desk, trying to make Shabina sound like Barry White Rolling Eyes , before giving himself a squeaky voice!

Ed's out & about tomorrow for the first part of his show.

He's off to Sheldon in East Brum with Cayte Walker, to have a look at a block of flats which are causing serious concern for local residents.

I'm sorry, why do you think anyone cares about what's happening on Radio WM? This is a TV presentation site... A new jingle package for a network station might just about make it on here, but noone actually cares about some bint called Mollie.

Shocked How dare you.

We don't need you London folk coming in here and telling us Midlanders what we can or can't do in our thread.

Personally I couldn't live without Westy's Radio WM updates.

Well you don't have to read my posts, do you, same as I don't have to read yours!

(Or I could descend to schoolboy level & tell you to **** off, but regular posters on this thread know I don't descend to that ! Your choice pal, oh & btw don't bother arguing with me via PM, because I'll just ignore you !)

End of an era now.

Doolan has stopped doing his Birmingham Mail column, due to the BBC rules regarding presenters writing for newspapers(which was, ISTR, the reason that prat Gaunt left C&W after 2 weeks!)

Daz Hale on his own today at WM Breakfast, due to Jo Tidman being ill.
