Hmmmm, yes a local pilot was to take place from Dumfries I believe, but I think that may still happen because they are moving home in dumfries, or so I am led to believe, and I would imagine that they will get larger premises, and then a pilot may take place.

well local radio stations manage to fill the entire day with local news and such like. itv or any other commercial organization couldnt possibly afford to venture into this kind of area, so i think its well worth the bbc dipping their toe in the water!
how does this differ from the bbci hull project?

There's plenty going on in Birmingham and the west midlands region - perhaps not much happens in Wales
