region. The split arose from criticisms of ''Midlands Today'' as being too centric on West Midlands coverage, although a service of separate opt-out bulletins for the region had been provided during the 1980s. On 5 February 1996, the show introduced a double-anchored presentation with Quentin Rayner and Kathy Rochford. The programme's newer (generic) 'look', in line with most other BBC regional TV news programmes, was introduced on 16 September 2002, with an update on 6 September 2004. The current titles and graphics were introduced in July 2019.
