It's quite refreshing from the monotony of rolling BBC News! Jane's doing better than I thought! The WNA team seems to have all its regulars on the ground: Laura Trevelyan, Kim Ghattas...

A real shame there's no Newsnight tonight. Sad Emily and the team share the feeling.

Indeed he has - gone into a program about Will and Kate now though. Seems then as if they're doing a fully fledged News at Ten with standing up intro and rehearsed scripts if they're preparing for it in N6.

They did the same before the Six, ran the recorded programme about Will & Kate just after 5:30

Was there a lunchtime Midlands Today & did Pat Burns present it?

Edit BBC WM today

5am Early Show - Tammy Gooding (ex Brmb & Smooth) in for Daz Hale.

630 Phil Upton @ Breakfast, with Tammy doing the sport!

930 Joanne Malin (Surprised as last strike she was off!)

1200 Richard Wilford (Doolan's off anyway, so Wilf was the cover anyway!)

1400 Danny Kelly

1600 Paul Franks

1900 Sport : 2020 Cricket (which was replacing Jenny Wilkes Soul & Motown anyway!). Currently overunning but Loyd Williams & Tracey's Jail Mail still scheduled to air.

So WM have only lost one presenter, it appears, not counting scheduled cover presenters/shows.

Has anyone got a 'full house' of BBC Local Radio, or are there any really badly affected?

There wasn't a Reporting Scotland at 6.30 anyway. There was something else on in it's place.

No ticker on the News Channel atm. Also, as mentioned on his Twitter page, Adam P is taking over from Chris R after the Ten, I presume he'll then stay on til 1am?

There hasn't been a ticker all day I don't think, I flicked over to the NC a few times throughout the day and there wasn't one there....

John Young presented the lunchtime South East Today with recorded weather from Alexis Green. Said he'd be back at 6.30.


John on the 6.30 with Michael Fish on weather,mentioned that Lynda Hardy will be covering the late bulletin.


I used to work with Lynda at a radio station in Cambridge, I always wondered where she went!
