message: Have added some more names to the past presenters list - a few people who I remember listening to when I was a wee nipper and growing up in Birmingham.  81.151.19.233 13:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else remember when Tammy Gooding used to call herself Holly Wood?  If so, what prompted her to revert to using her old name? 81.152.223.92 16:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Common sense probably. No, really. It was during the days when Tammy was travel reporter for the breakfast show and Les Ross asked her on air to reveal her real name, and I think between them they decided to drop the - by then outdated - showbiz name. - Lee Stanley 19:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Me again.  This is not really written in the style of an encyclopedia article, is it?  It needs a bit of work doing to it.  I haven't got the time to do it myself, so I am going to tag it for cleanup.  81.152.223.92 16:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's important to note that some people (within the industry and externally) saw the changes as yet another co-ordinated stunt to get the paper into the media focus. 62.6.252.139 15:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Elliot Webb Story

message: I see that someone removed my addition of Doctor Love from the list of Past Presenters.  I guess they might have believed it was a piece of vandalism, but I can honestly say it wasn't.  Doctor Love (which was almost certainly not his real name) actually was a presenter on BRMB.  He presented a programme called The Love Zone between 1993 and 1996.  The show was on at weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) between 10pm and 2am and started when the station was revamped after it was bought by the Capital Group in the summer of 1993.  Doctor Love left BRMB early in 1996 following another revamp.  Unfortunately, I have no reference for this information, so it may not be possible for Doctor Love to be included.
Incidentally, I would be interested to find out what Doctor Love's real name actually was.  If anyone remembers him and knows this, please let me know.  Thanks 81.152.1.205 10:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yes, Doctor Love definitely existed, but I haven't a clue who he actually was. - Lee Stanley 19:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Birmingham Radio for the Midlands and Blackcountry. Absolute rubbish and non-verifiable. The correct answer is Birmingham Broadcasting. Neasden Villa 16:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, and to quote the page cited, "In actual fact 'the initials did not stand for any particular words' but were simply extracted from the name of the company that ran the station - Birmingham Broadcasting Ltd" - Lee Stanley 22:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: B-R-M-B dose NOT stand for...

message: I've removed the list of current newsreaders and travel presenters as they don't really add anything to the article. Besides, one of them, Jo Grant, actually linked to the Doctor Who sidekick of that name from the early 70s.  Paul20070 12:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ALso removed the current line up for reasons discussed by other editors in the section above. Maybe the thing to do here is to have is to briefly mention one or two notable presenters if there are any at the moment, then to merge it with the list of past presenters. Any ideas anybody?

thread_title:  Current newsreaders and travel presenters 

message: An anonymous user (or perhaps more than one) has added the above two names to the list of past presenters on a few occasions recently, and each time they've been removed as non-notables without their own article. However, I'm wondering whether Matt Brown should go in. I've come across an article for a Matt Brown with a career in radio. This guy has appeared on 95.8 Capital FM and 96 Trent FM. Given that BRMB and Capital are owned by the same company, it seems possible that Matt Brown may have been on here too. Can anyone give a definite opinion on this subject? Thanks.

thread_title:  Party In The Park 

message: Just tried to correct a small problem. Someone removed West Midlands from the Broadcast area pointing out that BRMB doesn't cover Wolverhampton which is part of the West Midlands. BRMB actually covers large parts of the West Midlands county, but not the geographic West Midlands or the West Midlands conurbation - all of which are slightly different. I've linked to West Midlands (county) for now, but it might not be appropriate to keep this and we may need to be more specific. Birmingham and the Black Country might be an idea, although parts of the region that are sometimes considered as being in the Black Country also fall outside BRMB's catchment area. Incidentally it is possible to receive BRMB on an FM radio in large parts of the midlands - from Northampton to Hereford to Tewkesbury, and as far north as Stafford. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? TheRetroGuy (talk) 15:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it too early to start a section called Orion Changes? Because a lot of changes have happened to the station since they have been taken over by a new group. Im not sure if anyone feels this is worth mentioning. Jayflux (talk) 23:34, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orion Changes 

message: According to Radio Today, the BRMB name returns on 4 September when Big City Radio rebrands to the name. As there are not two radio stations associated with the name, does anyone have any thoughts on how we go about making the changes on here. There's a BRMB redirect to this article, and a current Big City Radio article. Big City Radio is planning to continue online. This is Paul (talk) 21:48, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
