My Insider at Midlands Today says there are changes ahead for Midlands Today i.e graphics, Titles and studio. Hopefuly no Name Changes like BBC News West Midlands or Midlands Tonight / Today.


This has been in the pipelines for months now, since the beginning of the year infact. Should be airing any time soon. I hear Nick cant wait to get his hands on the new desk Laughing after all the current desk is merely plastic, glass and a bit of tissue paper.

Any estimate dates or anything as to when it's going to be changed?

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it! Very Happy
I just think they need to change the graphics and tweak the set a little.

Graphics, yes I agree with you. But considering any new set is likely to be a typical MT bodge I'd rather they left it as it is to be honest.

I just don't like the current set. It's quite bland, and a bit magazine-ish, rather than news like. To me, the set always looked like it was either a temp set, or half finished.

I think the Midlands Today set it horrible, no offence!
The seats seem too low for the desk. It looks uncomfortable.
