Didn't anyone watch MT last night then?

BBC WM's Paul Franks was doing the sport, bearing in mind he's normally on air at the same time, but BBC WM have been doing the 20 20 cricket, which has been nicking the last hour of Franksy's show anyway.

I guess this was a one off, unless someone knows more(Hint Hint, a certain senior poster!)

Just noticed that http://www.itvregions.com/Central/ appears to have been updated, but more interesting is that the images are uncompressed, so we now have the biggest picture of Marie Ashby outside of MDR's collection!

It would be good if the site contained presenter profiles, and possibly behind the scenes of the studio, like the BBC web sites.

WM took News 24 audio for the Olympic announcement, during the Doolan show.

(Anyone read Doolan's Evening Mail column today, refering to recent correspondence in said rag, both criticising & praising Goldie! He also refered to SIFs (Single Issue Fanatics), & letters sent to him in green ink !)

Chinnie's daughter Tara, who sings, & has recorded an forthcoming debut album, is appearing at the Glee Club in Brum tonight.

One of the songs shes wrote, is about her dad & his early struggle to find work. Chinnie's worked with a bookie at the night races, before hitting the 'big time' !

I hope Llewella appears more on Central News at Six and not just on the Lunchtime bulletin.

with school age children and with her husband having died recently, perhaps presenting the lunchtime fits in with her commitments more?
