DOES anyone know what has happened lately to the BBC TV news for this region?

Viewers are just as likely to get a wodge of London news, or South news in general, as anything relevant to the North- East.

I used to think someone in the studios had pressed the wrong button accidentally, and the mistake would be soon be corrected.

But there is no evidence that anyone from the BBC has even noticed.

For instance, this morning I received a full report on how things were going in High Wycombe and Maidstone – doubtless both worthy towns, but neither of which claim much of my attention.

Ah well, Tyne Tees will have everything right... won’t they?
