Has anyone else in Stafford, got the preview of London News instead of Midlands News?

On channel 101? We pick up your local BBC1 from your local transmitter (probably Sutton Coldfield?). If its wrong then its because the BBC have problems and are putting it out wrongly. I will ask the Duty Engineer at Langley to call the beeb

926 is recieved from satellite, its effectively a BBC London feed. However your ch101 should be your local region. The engineer is calling Television Centre to query it now.

Its showing the correct local news now on 101.

The BBC have admitted there was an 'Operational error'. The man has been woken up and is now wide awake!!

This would have affected anyone fed from Sutton Coldfield.
