So, tomorrow (Monday) will mark the start of the last week Kevin Pamplin presenting Puffin's Pla(i)ce, with him leaving the show on Friday.

Sam Palmano will be the new presenter. This thread is for discussion of Kevin's last few days, and the start of a new era for Puffin's Pla(i)ce.

Yep - 1:20 every afternoon for 8 minutes before the national weather, then a few minutes just before CITV.

Frequency 10906 Polarisation V Symbol Rate 22.0 FEC 5/6 - tuning details
at the bottom of this page if you don't know how to do it.


Alternatively of course, you can watch all the fun every day here

Seems like Kevin has been 'retiring' for ages, can't say I'll miss him, theres something incredibly irritating about his presenting.

You say just before the national weather. Does that mean Channel Islanders don't get a recap of the ITV News headlines?

Nope, they don't.

I think he should try and get another presenting job.

Well if all goes according to plan, you shouldn't be disappointed! - Just make sure you watch every day this week! I've a feeling we may get a mention or two!

In answer to the question about what Kevin's doing next -well he's getting married (this weekend I believe it was) then he's starring in the musical Singing In The Rain for a while and then he's moving to London I believe.

Well there we go - one mention on today's show (if you missed it live, you can see it on the recording by clicking on the link I provided above, it's at about 07:45) - and Kevin says he'll be talking about us all week, so well worth tuning in! Very Happy
