You can't exactly call it 'east' either.....
its more east than it is central
Not really - there's only ten miles' discrepancy in the distance Milton Keynes is to the Ridge Hill transmitter (76 miles) than there is between Milton Keynes and Sudbury (66 miles). Ridge Hill and Sudbury are also nearly horizontal to each other if you look on a map......
You have to travel for longer to get from Sudbury to the east coast than you do to get to the Welsh border from Ridge Hill. So I'd call Milton Keynes VERY central!
But MK (where I used to live) is not at the centre of this region or of Sandy Heath's coverage area, it is at the western edge. Would you call Cambridge, Stevenage or Luton "central"?
They can't legitimately call the programme South Midlands Today. The exisiting programme is called Look East so I don't see why the new programme from the new region can't be called Look East as it has always been part of the East of England region (note: NOT East Anglia which is really Cambs/Norfolk & Suffolk).
Any other suggestions/opinions?

very odd for the bbc to describe the area as "central england".
