 During the rest of the decade, the region was eventually broken up into three sub-regions, receiving their own news service.Separate services for the West and East of the region were planned to begin from day one, but an industrial dispute over the launch of the East Midlands service – and the opening of new studios in Nottingham – resulted in the entire region continuing to receive a sole pan-regional programme from Birmingham.The launch of the Nottingham-based service was initially delayed for a month.
