    Wm now on Freeview 722.

    Unfortunately behind an interactive screen, so no Epg!

    Anyone know if other Bbc locals are on 722 around the country?

    Doubt it. I know a few BBC Local presenters are taking the opportunity to present shows on their respective new local TV stations, Frances Finn from BBC Nottingham for example.

    I was in Brum this morning, so I could have actually gone to the Mailbox to watch him doing the show.

    But I didn't.

    The freeview 722 slot takes the 95.6fm feed rather than one of their two DAB feeds. Yesterday on freeview they had the villa commentary which was FM only.

    How far away can BBC WM be heard on freeview 722 and do their football rights allow them to broadcast local football commentaries over such a large area?

    I think it's a steady roll out over the next few months... each region's stations will be broadcast regionally on that region's BBC mux.

    So presumably channel numbers will/can be duplicated between regions. I'm not sure why London and WM are on different numbers... but I can't imagine 40 channel numbers will be assigned (will they?)

    Intriuging to notice, while WM's online schedule is still listing 'Michelle Dawes' as the presenter of Sunday Breakfast, the Radio Times has listed her, for the 2nd week running as 'Michelle Knight', her maiden name.

    (To my knowledge, she's been married for at least 3 years!)

    Unless there's something we don't know?

    I knew that, but I'm just assuming it's an RT cock up, rather than 'something else'.

    BBC WM Summer Saturday line up http://www.bbc.co.uk/wm/programmes/schedules/2014/05/10

    I wander what type of show Lizzie will do because the show that was in that slot last year was the type of show Keith Middleton does now.

    How long exactly has Network Gold with John Platt been running?
    I remember hearing it in the car coming back from a match with my dad, when I was a kid.
    And I'm pushing 40 now.

    Thanks for this Westy. Sad to hear Daz suffered a mini stroke, I heard him talking about it on Pete Morgan's show in the week. Glad he's back at work.

    Mid to late 80's at a guess. It has celabrated anniversaries.

    Might actually get a decent run for a few weeks now, now that the footy's finished, apart from the 3 weeks Plattie takes off for Wimbledon.

    (Think Bev Bevan did those weeks last year. In previous years, it's been Tony Gilham with Gilham Gold!)
