Being from Birmingham, I think it has been a success both on and off the screen. I have never experienced the atmosphere in the city like this before. It has been nice having the BBC anchor in the city too and not from Salford. Birmingham is often sneered at by many, I am hoping that this starts a change to that. I mean even Jessica Ennis-Hill said last night that the Alexander Stadium "doesn't feel like it is in Birmingham". I am hoping that when BBC Birmingham moves to the new home in Digbeth it reignites the BBC presence here.
