Jeremy Vine on 5

The set looks exactly the same. No licks of paint anywhere.

I feel the desk is the most out of place. It should've been printed white and the graphics from The Wright Stuff are still on the front.

Overall I felt Jeremy didn't particularly handle the Roxanne interview well. Not very probing at all and just asked how she felt. Even introducing Alastair Campbell who didn't comment on the situation and just spoke about his time on Celebrity Apprentice.

I thought it was handled pretty sensitively and covered all bases without becoming a lynch mob.

Matthew Wright is going to TalkRadio.

More big news in UK radio: @Matthew_Wright is joining @talkRADIO. The Matthew Wright Show will be 1-4 weekday afternoons. Similar formula to his C5 show. Kevin O’Sullivan will be wingman. Rebekah Brooks is on a mission to reduce BBC radio dominance. Two major signings today

Things of note.

The News Review has been doubled in time, clearly to allow JV to leave before 11am to prep for his Radio 2 show.
Storm's stool, which was soon removed when the show moved to ITN has also returned during the News Review.

Jeremy was the right person to interview Roxanne Pallet who looked vulnerable during the interview.

From the start, Vine had Wright's humour, with his own slant on the format. It'll carry on regardless, let's hope for C5's sake that'll he'll hang around.

I reckon they will likely be tweaks in the coming weeks. I wonder if they’ll revert to it being live all the way when Vine is away

Front of the desk has now been changed to match the new background

It's the same desk front as they had on Monday, just lit as a lighter shade of blue (or is that what you meant)?

Worth noting that audience members are now due at 7.45am. Lost in TV also say that the approximate time for leaving the studio is 10.15am.

How much did The Wright Stuff react to breaking news? Vine is surely going to be caught out if a major story breaks in the last half hour of the show, or indeed if as they go on air a story is already developing.

Is Virgin Radio really going to 'reduce BBC radio dominance' if it's still just a digital service? To be honest, I didn't even know there was a Virgin Radio anymore, not since the original version relaunched as Absolute Radio.

I suppose in some distant future, when analogue radio has been switched off, and all radio is digital, it could compete; but surely it needs a national FM or MW frequency to be a real presence at the moment?

I wouldn't be shocked if they go straight to 5 News if there was a breaking story.
