BBC English Regional Promo

I've given it 13 hours, so am I the only person to have seen a lengthy trailer last night at 18:55 featuring quite a number of BBC English regional and local TV and radio presenters reassuring us all about their continued presence etc in English lockdown V2

Perhaps only BBC South have shown it so far?

It was posted on the BBC Look East Facebook page.

I presume this is it...

Today, England goes into its second national lockdown. Your local BBC radio stations and regional news are here for you, and together, we will get through this. pic.twitter.com/JnMW1PI3Ji

That's the one !

The only face I spotted from the South region was Graham Seaman from BBC Wiltshire Sound

Well thats 4 from the East. 3 from Norwich, including both Main presenters

I’m sure that’s a BBC Radio Solent logo reflected in the studio window at about 15 seconds.

Yes, that's Lou Hannan from Radio Solent. BBC Wiltshire Sound hasn't been called that for 18 years!

The last time I heard Graham Seaman on my wireless, he was on Radio 210. Don't tell me they've changed their name too ?

BBC Radio Wiltshire - as it has been called since 18 years ago - is a station under the BBC West umbrella, albeit that its broadcast area straddles the BBC West and BBC South television regions.

During parts of the schedule where BBC Local Radio goes pan-regional, Wiltshire is included with the West & South West group of stations (Gloucestershire to Cornwall) rather than the South & South East (Oxford, Berkshire, Solent, Surrey, Sussex, Kent).

Well yes, but as far as punters who listen to BBC Wiltshire that receive South Today on their tellies are concerned, (broadly those south of the A303) Graham will be familiar

Ironic mentioning their continued presence when many of the well known reassuring faces have been axed

Well, I thought that too. Perhaps there should be a disclismer caption at the end, ' May be affected by voluntary redundancy schemes'
