I hope that South Today adjust the scrolling place names in the title sequence etc to make it a properly pan-regional selection.

Currently, the lame attempt at "pan-regional" titles features mostly just place names from the Berkshire-and-southwards part of the region (including accompanying the final logo itself, both at the end of the titles and used on screens in the Southampton studio (even during pan-regional bulletins).

Only the couple of clips of Oxon/Bucks/Swindon images that are inserted into the pan-regional variant of the titles include any place names from that part of the region (the same selection of place names, in fact, as used on the Oxford sub-regional titles).

This creates a jarring disparity whereby most clips during the titles aren't accompanied by any place names from north of Reading, but a couple of clips are accompanied by *nothing but* Oxon/Bucks/Swindon placenames (including many names of smaller towns that would not get a look-in if trying to show a limited number of major cities/towns from across the whole region, e.g. Abingdon, Bicester, Brackley, Didcot, Princes Risborough, Witney etc).

There are probably no more than about five placenames from the "Oxford" (Beckley) TX part of the region that would warrant being mixed in with an overall pan-regional selection (Aylesbury, Banbury, Buckingham, Oxford, and Swindon - as these give the best broad indication of the scope of the north of the region).

It would be good to see e.g. those five (or similar) genuinely randomly mixed-in with the rest, so that the scrolling placenames are listed in an order that genuinely darts about all over the entire region without any bias.

The equivalent of all of the above also applies to Look East.

I'll not hold my breath, mind.
