Central West will get kicked out soon so their set can be fixed with Aqua / Blue


Fact? Or one of your dreams?

Yeah, how sly of them to modify studio lighting.

When they house a programme in studio T and hide the fact it happened (changed the lighting) is sly. Now if that was BBC Midlands they would have said "Have you noticed something different"

That's hardly hiding things. It's more professional not to comment constantly about changing surroundings, as most viewers really won't notice. Unlike Midlands Today who big up every single minor tweak they every do.

The studio looks alot better in Aqua blue, the teal never worked; Shame Tyne Tees can't follow suit.

'Mystic Veg' at the NEC predicted Nick would be replaced by a rather younger alternative!

There was an edited version of the report on N24, without the last bit btw!

What no comments on the WW2 bomb situation in Coventry?

I gather BBC Comedy & Warwickshire have decamped back to the Mailbox, as Franksy mentioned they were in the next studio! (Which 'next studio'? I know to 'Mollie's/Danny's' studio, another studio & the one nearest the Public Space window!)

How badly affected was C & W's programming, because I'm surprised they didn't join back up with WM instead, as the majority of WM's presenters should be known in Coventry anyway!

Could they still use C & W branded jingles?

The BBC Coventry and Warwickshire jingle package are stored on a local server and you can't squirt them to the mailbox. They could use the old "BBC WM, Across the West Midlands." jingles

What happens in Coventry during Danny Kelly? Surely they split jingles at the Mailbox?

Using the old ones! Not unless the presenter has to keep explaining why every time one is played!

BBC Coventry and Warwickshire jingles are currently being used on air now. But they didnt use a weather jingle. Apparently C&W will be on for longer tonight so maybe not letting 5 Live take over until 2, or maybe even later?
