Rarity these days tonight. Lunchtimes Peter Rowell is hosting tonight's The West Country Tonight at six.

There is a distinct "regional broadcaster let loose with a new toy" quality to these new titles.

Exactly the way a small region should be really. Bigger regions though, don't think it'll work quite honestly.

Are there some set changes taking place again at BBC Spotlight? I couldn't work out where Natalie was sitting in yesterday's bulletin. The background doesn't look like part of the 'soft area' as it has different panels and a CSO screen.

They also had a nice closing animation (instead of a wideshot of the studio) which I don't remember seeing before.

Vanessa used to present/report for Westcountry Live. So it is confirmed Lisa Aziz is not returning?

The name also rings a bell to me and I believe she may have filed a few reports on ITV London Tonight
