Debbie was the regional show for Manchester/North West as well as being networked wasn't she?

Good for Andy, he's been around in that part of the world for a long time. Where does the non local afternoon show go out now that they've ditched their TV platform carriage, and GHR has expanded to almost all the country?

Yes it was - though I guess having Rossie on breakfast from Liverpool qualifies towards OFCOM local/regional quotas.

I would assume Andy will be going out in the same areas as Debbie did, as well as the Midlands - so we're probably talking about London, the North East and Northern Ireland at least, as well as the UK variant - although South Wales (DAB only) carries the South West show from Bristol for whatever reason.

And being produced from Birmingham will still count towards the local quota regardless of whether it's local-only or part networked.
