Yes it was.

Don't know what is happening on Radio Leeds this week but their own presenter David Smith is doing the breakfast travel, instead of someone from Trafficlink. Also in the afternoon Daragh Corcoran is annoying me in the way he obviously thinks it is cool to be fashionably late for each headline news. What then happens is they go to the travel at :31 or :47 for example and find she's gone.

Are you sure David Smith isn't freelancing at Trafficlink?

so at least we know YTV and Meridian can do national weather in addition to London! Laughing


I'm sure TTTV could, but telling Southerners it's dreich, there's skitey bits and it's going to be cold in the sticks. Guy Windy down in London. Wink

Radio Leeds is awful full stop at the moment. Daragh said something a few weeks ago to the effect of 'coming up news of a fatal fire in Headingley which killed two children, but first Abba...'


And one poor link makes the whole station awful.
How? Care to elaborate?

BBC WM appear to be doing their travel 'in house', using the Breakfast Show's phone answerer, Jane France, Poonan Verma, who was a Trafficlink person & the duty newsreader(certainly on the weekend morning, don't know about the weekend evening schedule!)

Tom Schafernaker. He did the weather on Look North a few times, but didn't measure up to Paul Hudson in Katherine's estimation.

I am shocked and appalled. He has very nice eyes.

So was he neither theatrical nor short enough for La Birkett?
