Just watched This Mornings weather forecast and thought 'oh a different weather girl' then I realised the area covered was a bit further east, i.e. the Meridian area. This was later confirmed by the statement referring the 'weather for the Meridian region'. What happened there? Has Mendip run out of weather?

It is Meridian on HD not the west if that was what you had on.

I don't have HD, I normally get weather and other regional content from West. This was just a one-off.

When can we expect the new July 8th channel line-up changeover to occur ? I think my TV will pick it up automatically, but my PVR may need a retune.
