The Welsh being rebels then by not going corporate! Too cool for that? Very Happy

I see from the website and that image, Wales have gone for the cool purples, lime greens and oranges. I'm sure pink will slip in somewhere!

I want to know what Geraint's written!

i hate to spoil the party - but where is the money for this coming from, no doubt scotland will want a 2S, northern ireland a 2U or 2NI. once theyve been setup will there be enough left over for the 11 english regions to have 2MID 2SW 2SE etc??? i doubt it.  i think it all points to a hike in the license fee ... bit unfair really:?

Well it begins at 7.30pm with 'This is 2W' (I always want to say 2D or TW instead!) a preview of the programmes transmitted with '2W News and Sport' for 20minutes at 9pm then Tom Jones Live from Cardiff Castle!


I've already written my intro, I wonder if I'll get away with it Wink


'And now, live from Cardiff Castle, some jolly fun music with my mate Tom Jones and his circle of rich friends and champagne lifestyle. I'm Geraint White off now to mingle with the stars...'

Thank you Mr Prout, somehow I don't think I'd get invited to the show, let alone an after show VIP party! Smile Oh and it was recorded some time ago Wink

About the picture:

I was watching Newyddion via the Internet, and after the endtitles they usually show the Wales Today dragon (or a view in the studio). But now the showed 2W News & Sport.

AFAIK it'll be a different style of pres - with more friendly links from the con announcers ... as if they've been watching the shows with you.


That makes me so angry I've just kicked a hole in the door.



LOL. Very Happy

Can anyone at the Beeb confirm if the 2W News and Sport will be available online when it launches?

Just read this thread. Another thing I will not be able to see. This is getting beyond a joke. I can't get ITV Regions or 2W!

I hate Digital Cable. It seems that the BBC have forgotten about us cable viewers!

In what way? You're getting an interactive version of the forthcoming Walking With Beasts for example...Ok, not as good as Sky's but that's no-ones fault, certainly not the broadcasters.

its being promoted quite a lot on bbc1w at the moment and its looks like they have got jason mohamad and sarah dickinson doing the news and sport bulletins that are to be broadcast on bbc2w! also features a new quiz show 'pub quiz' featuring john sparkes from HTV's Barry Welsh is Coming.


Ill give this channel 6 months before it is axed!

This interactive thing. It's not a case of 'pressing the red button' on a BBC Channel. You have to

Press Interactive - wait about 1 min for it to load
Go into 'Games and Learing' Wait for that to load
Go into 'Learn' Wait for that to load
Click on the icon for ..Beasts. Wait for that to load
Then get in it.

Overall it takes about 3-4 mins. And it's not just my box. I've talked to other people with the same problem.

I know this is Telewest's problem - not the BBCs but when you get into it, it's crap! It just seems that cable get's the bits the others don't want!
