Sounds like Plymouth were fed with a 4:3 full-screen feed which they then masked/cropped to 14:9 rather than being fed a 14:9 letterbox version - which would have been fine.

BBC1 viewers in the South West and Channel Islands were treated to a weather forecast from London from Darren Bett just before the end of Spotlight this evening. Unfortunately, due to there being no widescreen broadcast facilities in Plymouth, it was rather horribly cropped with the bar at the bottom of the screen being half chopped off...
The forecast was almost up to the usual South West standard, tide times were present, but no surf conditions and as it was from London, no local child's weather picture at the end....
Did any other region get a local forecast from Darren during their local news? If not, I wonder why either David (Braine) or Craig (Rich) were unavailable tonight?
(Also, slightly off topic, but worth mentioning, a special Sports programme will be going out at 7pm on Wednesday, so BBC1 South West will be opting out of Bargain Hunt!)
