Wm might drop out of the Keith Middleton Late Show broadcast from Shropshire, depending on the weather situation.

(Wonder if Sarah Cruikshank will take the oppotunnity to say 'We're all dooomed' at some point? LOL
I know, cheap joke towards the Scots!)

No sport on BBC Shropshire, as both the Shrews & Telford are called off, so their show is mainly music with occasional update from a Welsh League match close to their transmission area.

Wm have lost the Walsall away match, but still have other Premier League matches anyway.

Update : Instead of broadcasting from Shrewsbury, Keith Middleton has Facebooked to say hes broadcasting from Brum instead.(Obviously a bit difficult to get to Radio Shropshire tonight from the West Mids!)
However Wm isnt joining straightaway, as its Network Gold until 10!)

Update from Keithy, it's a Jimmy Franks Snow Special instead of Network Gold!

Scrap what I said about The Wyre and The Severn not rebranding, looks like they will take the Signal brand.

Not sure about The Wolf though.

The Wolf will be rebranded as Signal 107 also.

Wonder if the warehouse I work in will notice, as 90% of the time, the warehouse radio is tuned to The Wolf?
(The office radio(which in fact is an old battered Acoustic Solutions job I own, which was redundant at home as I now have DAB/FM combis instead!), where I am, is on Dab, broadcasting Gold Wolverhampton, with occasional flicks to R2, Absolute Group & Smooth 70's. )

Wonder who will come out on top in Wolverhampton now then?

For you nostagia freaks, Sunday's Ed Doolan Show on WM, will feature in the 11am Archive Hour, Midlands Today, with guests Tom Coyne & David Davies, along with Kay & Nick.

Dunno if there's a special reason why though.

Pics now on Wm's Facebook page.

Slight mistake on MT just.

Shefali correctly gave out the Wolves West Brom derby as being 5 one to West Brom, but the caption said 5 nil to Wolves!

Oops.

Nice to see Sara Thornton has stopped refering to 'The Weather Team', when it's clearly only her there. (Presumably she is the only one there doing the maps anyway?)

She always referred to The Weather Team when she was at BBC South too!

And on BBC London News and radio.

I like Sara as she's lived in various parts of the country and America that her accent seems to change with every forecast!

Wm have now launched a new appeal, similar to the Kidney Kids appeal they did a few years back.
This time round, its involving Leukemia.
There was a big launch in Brum city centre yesterday.
Im surprised none of the pervs have been after pics of Jo Malin in a nurses uniform!

(I havent, as shes doesn't do anything for me! Now if it had been Kaye Forster.....)
