The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

They have now, the updated promo was shown at the end of tonight's show.

From what I saw, Im sure it was still the same.

Danny Kelly is the most annoying unimaginative presenter on that station. Its bad enough having to put up with with Regional accents, then that waste of space comes along....

ALL CHANGE PLEASE, ALL CHANGE, Danny Kelly ends here..
Shame they are moving him only to nights, shame they cant move him ALLTOGETHER, annoying little p**** he is.

Good news, Les Ross got nominated last night at the Sony Awards, and thank god they are bringng him back.

Danny, almost gone...We just need to lose Molly now and we should have some decent presenters

You wash your mouth out.

Mollie's great, even though she's never 'right' ! (metal detecting)

I think she's doing Saturday brekky this week & if I'm awake early enough, I shall text in to say hello!

Good to see Michael Collie presenting tonight. His mic fell off though

Oh its Molly's stalker!!
Believe me, Ive worked with her... shes not as she seems she talks the most awful pile of ****.

Hopefully Keithy with see Les Ross gets breakfast, move Breakfast from 6am to 10am and lose the 'Early exposure' and thankfull she'll dissapear into a black hole..

Bit like Adrian Goldbuerg really

Fingers crossed eh!!

If I'm Mollie's 'stalker', as you say, then why haven't I turned up at the studios when she's covered the Janice Long slot, or texted everyday into her.

You listen to a week of her shows, & see if I text in everyday, & which 'regulars' text in most days, eg Fi from Halesowen, Real John in Redditch to name but two?

Were you an 'on air' person or 'behind the scenes'?

I bet you liked that prat Gaunt when he was on?

I was a behind the scenes person and am back there now and then.
Jon Gaunt talks so much crap on air his voice is annoying, its all for then show , he's complete different off air.

Hes quite short too

Jon Gaunt's on talkSPORT Mon-Fri 10-1 now. I agree he's got a bloody big gob and is a 100% 'shock jock' - not necessarily genuine, but I find I can't switch him off! He gets the punters going!

So what is he like off-air then (apart from vertically challenged)?

Thank goodness for that! I actually live in Coventry, which is quite close to Brum, so it may seem odd that I complain about the Brum-centric backdrops, given that they are fairly representative of my particular corner of the region.

Perhaps if it wasn't for the likes of Anglia West starting the "multiple backdrops" trend, I'd never have though that there was anything wrong with Brum-only on CNW.

But it does seem such a shame not to utilise such strong regional views as, say, Shropshire Ironbridge for example. (Granted, that one appears in the title sequence - but only for about 1 bloomin' second!)

It was mentioned by Dan Barton on the ITV Local Central site, right at the end of the lauch-party extended coverage video.

It would nice if CNE changed its live-camera too, a bit sad that they copied BBC EMT's backdrop Perhaps Derby next, since they've had a Leiceister one and two Nottingham views.
