Well either Mol's is doing both shows from the Mailbox(assume its technically possible to broadcast to Coventry only from Brum?) or Wm is losing Mol from Saturdays eventually or theres a cock up somewhere!
Could be Mollie's Saturday morning show on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire also be on BBC WM as a cost saving measure and it is also handy for Mollie not working 7 days a week. If this happens a new presenter takes on Saturday Breakfast on BBC WM which could be Richie Anderson.

Just checked Wm Saturday schedule for next couple of weeks & Mollie is still listed for Saturday breakfast, so looks like she will be on air 6 hours straight.

(Might be worth tuning in to see how many references to Wm will pop up accidentally on CW!)

Mollie has had an hour chopped off her C&W show so it will be 5 hours straight

7am-10am on WM
10am-Noon on C&W

Might as well do a 9 till 12 simulcast personally.

Would be interesting to see if anyone from WM assists in the production from Brum on Coventry?

Presumably the Brum studio could be treated as a 'Down The Line' into Coventry, as surely there wouldn't be any spare staff at Brum to assist the Coventry show, as they would be busy with Richie Anderson themselves.

Hmm.

Someone has just played a didgeridoo on the In The Name Of Nora slot.

So far no one has mentioned a certain person in connection yet!

Apparently it was The Police with Sending Out An Sos.
(Surely that is actually called Message In A Bottle! )

Wonder if Pete Waterman will play a certain Morris Minor & The Majors track that basically took the **** out of his record company output?

Gagan Grewal is sitting in for Graham Torrington this week, I've no idea who he is but I think he's absolutely awful, none of the authority that GT has, instead he fills up awkward pauses with his annoying laigh, he explains his topics of discussion like he's talking to 2 year olds, he's butchering the mystery voice competition by not reading out the list of previous name and just generally taking the fun out of the whole thing. I think anyone could have done a better job. Sorry for the rant but I want GT back as soon as!

Surely if he's national then he ought to be some good?

Perhaps there's hope for Richie Anderson after all? LOL

Schedule change this Sunday.

No 'Hunted' , as the Birmingham football derby is on, but 'Haunted' appears for its yearly visit on Monday, replacing Mark Forrest in Wm land only.

I could be wrong on this - but I think Franksy said on The Football Phone-In a few nights ago that Daz Hale would be hosting a special breakfast show from 9am before coverage begins at 11am.

Half an hour into today's Brekky Show, and so far we've learned Mollie used to take part in police line ups, for extra cash & she reckons her coffee might be undrinkable as her flask wasnt bleached properly!

Daz Hale on air now.

There is a choice of commentary depending whether you listen to Fm or Dab.

Blues biased commentary on Fm, Villa biased commentary on Dab.

Despite 'Hunted' being off today, 'The Voice' still popped up on Llewella Bailey's show & a caller to Daz has just mentioned talking to producer Dean Roberts Lowe, so that proves who is doing 'The Voice' then!

After next Sunday's show, Hunted takes an indefinete break(they say) off air.

Replacing it in January will be Alison Hammond.

Going back to today's show, Nina Das Gupta, she of Travel fame was a late replacement for Debi Massey, due to family illness, in fact this is the second week in a row that Nina was the Hunter & she lost both weeks!

How long has there been Sunday evening news bulletins on Wm & where do they come from as I didnt recognise the newsreader?

Had to smile tonight as I was watching the Victoria Wood stuff tonight, when up pops the quote Mollie uses as part of the theme tune she uses for the gardening phone in!

'Welll, it's just God's way of getting you to enjoy Gardners World!'
