Nice continuity making sure they were both wearing the same!
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?
According to Danny Scouser on WM last night, which I caught briefly, C&W were supposed to join WM at midnight.
Hardly seems worth it for an hour, as 5Live takes over at 1am, unless they had to join earlier for technical reasons.(Making sure both WM & C&W swop in & out of 5live at the right time! Then again Mollie does opt out herself as she has mentioned forgetting to press the button at 5am occasionally!)
Ok, who forgot to book cover for the WM Early Show this morning then?
Mollie said on Friday, she was off Monday, so yours truly tuned in about 510am, to be greeted with 5Dead's Morning Reports, followed by 'Wake up to money' or as I call it 'Drop back off to sleep with money', until Dicky Wilford popped up at 6am, apologising for the unusual start!
Whenever Simon is about something goes wrong with the weather!
What's with the weather from the newsroom lately? Shefali did the same last Friday and the graphics went wrong then too. Why not just stay with the big screen all the time?
End of an era last night, as the final Danny Kelly Late Show on BBC WM & C & W was transmitted.
From Monday, WM & C & W take Rob Underwood from BBC Radio Nottingham on Monday to Thursday between 10 & 12 only. (The show starts at 9pm elsewhere!)
Separate evening programming runs to 10pm, then 5Dead takes over from midnight.
Fridays, it's still Midlands Masala until 12, then C & W swop to 5Dead, while WM continues with Jail Mail(never understood the point of that programme!) until 2am.
Got a couple of days off(Walsall Beer Festival for the next few days!), & having a listen for a change via iPlayer to BBC Radio Leicester.
Blimey is Waddo still going?
Where's Julie thesedays?
Noticed at least a couple of WM regulars get a mention on the Rob Underwood Late Show. The infamous Don from Edgbaston texted in(Glad he can. I still can't !), plus Kimberley from Great Barr popped in on for a request!
