The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

1. Different people in charge.
2. It clearly wouldn't be such as big deal for a club like Man United, who you'd expect to feature in at least one cup final each year.

The legend that is Kay has filed a report today from Shropshire. Good to see her out and about rather than stuck in the studio for the lunchtime bulletins.

Kay is everywhere, she need not use legs, from her might control centre some call the studio she sees all. She knows what is going on and where in the Midlands it is. She can send one of her loyal subordinates to find the incident.
God bless, Praise Kay and her Travel Information System.

Wonder why she filed a report anyway? (Someone on hols or sick?)

She ain't been out for years.

She's only on one morning a week, assuming it's connected with her Brum Assay Office 'other job' anyway!

Today's 130 a bit shaky today isn't it?

Wasn't it, going back to Kay thought she coped well, could have been slicker but you cant fault such a regional treasure (literally with her other job!)

Heres a couple of todays highlights!

God bless Kay!

Bit of WM news now.

Ex BRMB jock Elliott Webb is covering for Franksy at the mo, while he's on hols.

Danny Kelly, some of you may be aware, now has a Facebook site.

(Yes yours truly has recently joined Facebook & added Danny to his friends!)

He is after 1000 friends.

He has around the 600 mark at the moment.

Anyone who wants to join go here.

(You also have the opportunity to take the piss on his wall too!)

Talking of Danny & WM, is it me or are they getting desparate for guests & experts?

The other week on Doolan, Danny & another guy were taking calls on used cars(Some wag texted in asking Danny if the car was worth more with the hubcaps! ), while Danny today had the woman on who does the voice for the Orange mobile service! (Ok she was a professional voice over artist anyway!)

Ex 'Birmingham Mail' editor covering for 'Uncle Ed' for a few days soon.

Who the **** were them pair who were covering Danny Kelly today (& the next few days apparantly)?

They called themselves ' Jim & George' !

Where were the usual stand ins, Mollie, Jimmy Franks etc?

Last day for Elliott Webb covering for Franksy today, as the big man is back tomorrow.

(Mind you, I might retune if them pair are on again. Carlos on Smooth sounds like a good idea tomorrow & I'm off the rest of the week after that!)

According to Digital Spy, BBC Derby's Shane O'Connor(ex WM presenter of course!) is moving on from their Breakfast Show. Dunno where though. (Can you offer him a job pretty please Keith Beech?)

Looks like changes are now going ahead in the studio. Headlines on the Six coming from The Politics Show set.

Funnily enough I noticed that during the 1:30, I think it looks good there, To be honest, but the 'barco-like' screens are the way forward, unfortunately. Plus the desk looks dark as it's not plugged in.

I thought they had another flood again!
