I fear they have been lost in a forest somewhere and still think it is October 2002.

Re: BBC Radio Wolverhampton

Unless I'm missing something, the trial stations don't seem to be available on BBC Sounds? DAB and isolated web browser link online? Missed opportunity to communicate the launch and gauge uptake. Say the Sounds app detects your local station is set to Newcastle or Tees, it could inform you about the...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

But what more is there to say other than 'Jane Hill is presenting the Ten tonight', which IMO isn't that interesting in and of itself? All you can follow that up with is speculation on why she's doing it and shift patterns and so on. Agreed. "BBC newsreader reads news on BBC News bulletin"...

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

Please tell me Asda hasn't scrapped their pretty decent Dianne Morgan voiced campaign for whatever the fuck this weird, fake DIY thing is that they've started airing this week. Dear lord, what an absolute misfire this campaign launch is. The central character is insufferable. Their official YouTube...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

What is a beauty hall? Is this a standalone beauty store? how can they hand it to next? A carve up of the Debenhams unit - Next renting the Beauty Hall section only? So yes, a standalone store branded as "The Beauty Hall from Next" going forward apparently. New concept: https://www.swindo...

Re: NHS Clapping

BBC News also successfully orchestrated a mass gathering of around 50 people to recreate a street party photo from 1945. Being careful to maintain their magic 2m social distance, of course... except when they had to brush past each other to get into position. Totally unnecessary and a confusing mess...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

A Morrisons near me has been kitted out with all new self and staffed checkouts. The staffed checkouts come complete with a 1-2-3 "scan, pay, pack" instructional message at the start of the conveyor belt. *I think* the idea is the bottom bay area is divided into two, so one person can pack...

Re: Metro/TFM

Indeed, back on air Sundays only with Little Plum as the opening theme, sounding great. Freudian slip at the start referring to "Great North Radio", which (a quick Google later shows) was one of the many former names of the AM station in the North East prior to Magic/GHR. As far as Metro i...

Re: Metro/TFM

He's also just let slip that "the Metro name may not be around much longer". Hardly surprising but there we are. Sigh. Hello Hits North East or something equally bland. I'm presuming this is Alan's choice to leave? Don't think even Bauer would be brave enough to push him out the door. It ...

Re: Metro/TFM

Historic evening - the last edition of Alan Robson's Nightowls is currently going out and it really does feel like a final goodbye to the history and soul of Metro and local radio broadcasting in the North East in general. He's also just let slip that "the Metro name may not be around much long...
