Why did they sell the best one? Central East's was much clearer and newer.


No. They were the same. Don't get your wires crossed. The West's however was not focussed properly.

Oh right then. So basically they have not realised this in as many years, or just like it how it is. And the yellow tint is of their own doing aswell?

It's just a bulb issue, mainly. I think they may have sorted it.

Looks like BBC North West viewers(some if not all) have had Midlands Today bulletins for technical reasons today, it appears.

Praise the lord it wasn't the other way around...

I jest of course, BBC North West's news is of high quality and is watchable.

My big bro's got to put up with NWT eventually as he, the sis in law & my niece are moving up Manchester way eventually, in fact the sis in law is already up there as she's started a new job this week & once a house has been found, bro & niece will follow.

Never been to Manchester, but went to Scouse land last year. At least the coach left with it's tyres intact!

(I talk to scousers regulary. Big wine warehouse in Knowsley my employers deal with.)

Interested to note Nick's doing both the teatime & new late night MT bulletin tonight, unless it's because he didn't do Friday's MT this week, due to attending his son's wedding on Friday.

In London we have got Riz today for both and apparently Look Hull had Levy, so maybe its to promote the extended regional news at the weekend?

Nice to see some TV matters being discussed here for a change.

Somethings going on at Central, no overhead shot, and a slight change of lighting - less teal and more blue and the whole studio is generally lit better.
