BBC micro news - perhaps it's true?
I received an email from a yahoo group I belong to on a totally unrelated topic. There was a link in it so I went for a peep, and was utterly astonished to read this:
"As the BBC moves towards the digital switchover, Mr Thompson said they were also considering delivering even more localised news. In the future, there could be mini news programmes from smaller areas within Wales.
A scheme has already been piloted in the West Midlands.
"There would be 10 minutes of television news from areas like North Wales or Mid Wales, just like you can get on the BBC website," he said."
The link is here.
It does rather look as though the rumour I heard earlier (about the BBC moving towards micro news output) may well be true. But will it happen on the BBC news website?
I await developments with interest....

If you hover your cursor over Cheshire on the BBC England page nothing happens, but if you go south you will see Cheshire has been lumped in with Stoke and Staffs (though naturally there is no mention of any Cheshire content there).
All very strange.
This is absolutely true and the whole reason the campaign was started - because the BBC thinks Cheshire does not exist. Cheshire news gets spread between the pages for Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, depending on which bit of Cheshire is nearest!
