Yes, but TV Home's are always better quality than other sites - and other sites have the presenters, balloons and headlines on them, which I hate!

Great Rob, I can't wait to see them at TV Home.

I don't know what happens in other regions, but the best time to capture stings is either on the late weekday bulletins, or the end of the weekend ones. At the weekend, NorthWest Tonight always finishes with the sting, and if they finish slightly early, the sting goes on for ages with the beat until they can opt back to BBC ONE. It's worth a try!

Also, does anyone have th old South Today titles, before the region joined up with Kent? Does that mean that Newsroom South East's region is smaller on their opening titles now?

It does, I was in the Newsroom South East region before I got South Today when it was launched in my region. It probably has got smaller.

Kent hasn't joined up with South Today, its still a part of Newsroom South East. Although you wouldn't know it Smile

The only addition to South Today is the Oxfordshire region which was previously covered by Newsroom South East. The Newsroom South East region has got smaller.

To tell you the truth, I don't think Oxfordshire fits in to either ST or NRSE. I think it would we be better to do it like Central, er Sorry Carlton Central and make Oxfordshire a part of the Midlands region.
Then again it depends where you are, if you live in the North its in the South. If you live in Devon, its North. You can't win really. I think its better letting ST cover it though, they do it well.

I suppose its a bit like Lincolnshire, should it be Look North or East Midlands Today, both have it to cover (its an overlap) but Look North seems to have forgot about it and East Midlands Today now seems to be the one covering it.

Right, thats enough! I've waffled for too long now.

I miss the banter between those two!


Yeah, one lunchtime they hardly spoke to each other, no comments or anything. The next day loads of people emailed in and he read one at the end of the programme 'Whats up with you two, you hardly spoke yesterday. Have you fell out' Peter Levy just said 'I don't think we ever fell in, thats it. Joins us tomorrow 1:30'

Its those things that just add that bit of humour to your viewing. Honestly, I don't know how I survived until I could pick up Look North! Smile

Actually on Tv-Ark the use Real Player 8.5 which is virtually TV quality, as far as I know the ones on Tv Home are R7, but someone may correct me.

Can anyone in the South East capture the new-look Newsroom South East, before they change it again for BBC London!

I like Look North, midday too. Very funny! Maybe they should just run a comedy show instead of 'Close Up North' (Have you noticed they've kept the old Look North logo on Close Up North and North Of Westminster - very TACKY)

Yes, I agree - BBC Manchester have kept NorthWest Tonight's old titles for the other regional programmes.

Actually to be fair especially The TV Room and secondly Tv-Ark are very good quality, its mostly just TV World which lacks quality.

There isn't a new look Newsroom South East, the map still shows Oxfordshire on it.

They're even still using the dodgy cyan astons.
