The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

That was so funny! I bet it was quite painful for him though!

Bring on the next contestant, sorry presenter, of the WM Saturday evening slot ! :

In Keith Beech's absence, Jeremy Pollock is acting managing editor of BBC WM.

Nice Live tonight, no headline graphics
Yesterday Old BBC ONE Midlands Ident played on screen for report on
Tai Chi.

Yuck... Have you seen the new DOG thing on Central News? They've put the ITV Local URL in it and it looks horrible now.
It's very hard to read in my opinion too.

I've noticed that too, it looks "squashed" somehow. Does your eyes in!

If they would stop the annoying 14:9 and switch back to original 4:3 or widescreen (even better! ) then I think we'll be able to read it a lot better!!

Here's a cap of the new DOG.
Nice to see Chris James presenting the evening bulletin, don't think he's presented it before!

Jo looking like a woman possessed there^ Who usually sits/stands in for Bob these days; is usually Matt Teale or Mark Gough?

Also I notice Steve Lamden (ex CNE and CNS) is now "Head of News", where has Dan Barton gone?

Judging by his comments about the BBC in general, I think it's safe to say Gaunty not only burned his bridges but smashed the remains into tiny little fragments.

I'm not sure where Dan's gone but Steve has been the head of news for quite a while now.

It's usually Matt as when Bob was away a few weeks ago it was Matt mainly presenting it.
