All I know is that 'BBC London' (or London Live but AFAIK it's going to be just called 'BBC London') is going to start after the election, whenever that may be, with the South-East gettting 'BBC South-East'. I think that they both will just have normal English regions titles because it isn't a 'nation' like Wales Today or Reporting Scotland.

Cheers, Asa

Look North will may have a bit of change when the introduce their split service with opt outs. Belmont will be the East and Emley Moor will be the West.
No change for the look though, it'll be like this for a good while yet.

Regarding the BBC London Live astons - they will probably have their own designs. My bet is that they will be white with black writing like the radio station.

They were originally going to launch it in March, but obviously changed their mind. Does anybody know where the new BBC 'South East' is coming from - is it the new Radio Kent complex in Tunbridge Wells?
