The news stories are guaranteed to get out of hand and leave you laughing. There is even more opportunity for hilarious hijinks with sports, weather and question segments (where we answer your questions from twitter!

Written form is also a challenge because there are no commas in the field and definitely no Oxford alumni commas. </p><p>What does this mean for the future? Well I can&rsquo;t say for sure because that would be news. What I can say is that this process of change and evolution is unacceptable. As Darwin once famously said: </p><p>&ldquo;Hey. Those birds are the same but their beaks are different.&rdquo;</p><p>In order to get the mushy insides of our new hybrid listener-viewer-readers out, we field reporters have to get different beaks. I&rsquo;m going to get mine now before the prices are put, as Neil Armstrong said when asked where he was going on that fateful day, up.
