BBC Sussex emergency snow show

Kudos to BBC Sussex for opting out all evening from Mark Forrest and now the South/SE network late show by providing an emergency show from BBC Surrey in Guildford and are giving out a Guildford 01483 number instead of the 08457 number as Brighton's studio is quite frankly impossible to reach by road.
The snow was initially going to end at 8pm, then as the weather has got worse, particularly along the coast, especially in Brighton and Hastings, it's been extended to midnight in light of the situation.

Hope everyone gets home safe, it must be horrible to be stuck there and wondering if you might have to sleep in your car.
And the "usual suspects" come on here to call other stations Tinpot!:rolleyes:
Fear not, they'll have a survey done, graph published,and extensive research data to prove the average 35yo female with ZERO intelligence doesn't care where the snow comes from
I haven't tried the Sussex frequencies, but I'd hazard a guess the London presenter is firing off links to 102.4/103.5 (and relays) rather than 102.7.
Not much of a surprise there.
Bring back Southern Sound !
I think Surrey and Sussex have broadcast the same all evening. David has told me he will stay on air all night if necessary.
Snow that works to an exact time schedule, I like it!
The snow has clearly got to my fingers clearly!
David Miller mentions that they're staying on-air until at least 1.45am.
He's giving out Radio Solent's number and made no secret that he's in Southampton.
Surrey and Sussex briefly switched to Five Live , but David was able to switch it back.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the same area......Buble plays next!:mad::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Tell that to the guy on now who has been stuck on the A23 since 4.30 yesterday afternoon!
Cant believe some numptys on here, who make light of a serious situation:mad:
I wouldn't be making jokes out of the situation, an inch of snow, on some of Europe's busiest roads is no laughing matter.
And the Red Cross were called out

Nick Osborne was still live on the Media Sound stations giving out travel information when I last listened at about 9.30pm last night. Not sure about Heart but would guess they stayed with the network.
Erm- nobody is doing that.
Except you, who couldn't resist having a dig at Heart. Anyone know if they did split links last night?
Not sure about Heart but Duncan Barkes on LBC was talking about it and taking calls from people stuck in cars as well as giving updates at 3am even when the BBC had gone to 5live.
Correct, most likely why Heart didn't do match because as you say LBC can easily be heard in most areas affected so was left up to them to provide detailed information. Clive Bull was also doing small updates and they also had detailed travel news.
