Geraint why do you leave the bbc2w aston on screen even though 2w's output has finished and you have handed back to 'bbc 2 wales'?
obviously you are controlling both and to you its just another schedule and essentially the 'same' channel but why dont you fade the aston down once bbc2w has finished it's programming?
hmm well tonight (friday) the bbc2w aston has been lurky there since 18:00 tonight and has annoyed the hell out of me - the station doesnt start broadcasting until two and a half hours later!
WHY TELL ME WHY???
Also while were at it - just how bad was the bbc2w news at 21:00?
i wasnt impressed in the slightest - apart from Jason Mohammad taking notice of this forum and wearing a tie!
Just who was that weathergirl and what did she think she was doing? the macarena? it wasnt even as if she was standing in front of a cromakey (blue screen) the weather forecast was actually behind her!! everytime she mentioned either 'the north' or 'the west' her arms just flung into action and were sprung into action by these 'trigger' words and just pointed no-where in particular! very entertaining really!
oh well things can only get better!

Oh dear, I'm just wiping away the tears from my eyes, that's very funny and very true! The Weathergirl is Lisa, she's new to it all. Learning tho. And despite the fact YOU can see the screen, when it's behind you, you can see bugger all!
Just think of it as Acorn Antiques doing News
As for the dog, it's now off to the glue factory!

Actually I think Horses go to glue factories - it's sausages from dogs.
Anyway - what the hell was wrong with it?

Couldn't they afford chairs? It's quite a waste of a desk, also what happens at the end, other BBC News presenters
must
go through a strict training regieme to 'pretend' to do something on the computer as the ending credits are on, what do 2WNEWS&SPORT presenters do??
Disaster waiting to happen - miming!
Plus, 2WN&S's titles are far too LDN sounding!!!
And who is in the meeting at the BBC who comes up with dumb regional names?? LDN, 2W, BBC LOOK NORTH Leeds, BBC LOOK NORTH Hull, BBC LOOK NORTH Newcastle, BBC SPOTLIGHT
Are these people drunk?
Going back to the point i'd like you all to think about
Why no chairs?

Look North? Spotlight? Those names have been in use since the 1960s! (Although Spotlight was originally Spotlight South West).

Yeah, I like 5News - but it's just wrong for a 'sitting' news presentation for BBC! Maybe the 1980s style computerised graphics are a sad thing to come!
