rumours abound that North East sport legend Roger Tames is leaving ITV1 Tyne Tees and joining Film Nova as their Head of Sport.

sadly those in charge have slashed the local sports output to little more than North East Tonight

Yes that's the problem, there was a time when Tyne Tees used to produce live football games like the Tyne Tees Match, with Roger Tames doing the presenting, those days have long gone now, well we can wish them well in their new positions.

sadly those in charge appear to have forced everyone's hand. they have slashed the local sports output to little more than North East Tonight. so, it would seem the reporters and presenters still there will now have to work directly under Graham Marples, Head of News.

Thank God. As Roger Tames is responsible for the absolute monstrosity that was 'Cafe Sport', it may well have come too late. 
To be fair to him, he is likeable enough even if he does look like some ventriloquist I've forgotten the name of (Roger Decourcey?)
And as a Newcastle fan, the end of season video commentary is abysmal.
I reckon Tames has a PhD in stating the obvious.
