As part of a project to improve handling of regionalised programmes, I need to have a full list of the BBC1 regionalised names, and how these correspond to ITV regions. For example, my BBC1 is called "BBC ONE East E" and I get "Anglia" ITV, from which I deduce that there is a "BBC ONE East W", but does that also correspond to the Anglia ITV region, and is there by any chance a "BBC ONE East N"? I would therefore be grateful if as many people as possible could do short posts of the form:

"BBC ONE East E : Anglia ITV"

if their combination has not already been posted.

TIA,

EMJB

I have the full list on my Freesat PVR but there seems to be a lack of naming consistency across the platforms as East Anglia region is called

BBC 1 East (E)

BBC1 is "BBC ONE W Mid" and ITV is just "ITV", although it's Central West region (Sutton Coldfield TX)

BBC1 is "BBC ONE West" and ITV is just "ITV" (Mendip TX)

You may glean some BBC names from here While it won't tell you the ITV region name, it may help compile a list of regions that you need to map.

Geoff

[edit]
Further googling produced this list
BBC ONE NI
BBC ONE Scot
BBC ONE Wales
BBC ONE HD
BBC ONE NI HD
BBC ONE Yk&Li
BBC ONE W Mid
BBC ONE West
BBC ONE Lon
BBC ONE South
BBC ONE Yorks

The Regional variations paragraph in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV_(TV_channel) indicates that they are now all called one of
ITV
ITV Cymru Wales
ITV Channel Television
(although there is also a mention of ITV Wales in the text)

Geoff

Note: You will have to add _(TV_channel) manually; the forum url recogniser doesn't seem to like it)

Thanks everyone - I should have made it clearer that I appreciate the ITV region is not included in the title and it is only things like the local news that tell you which ITVregion you have. I am trying to use the BBC region to deduce the ITV region, and need confirmation of the relationship as I don't trust my current source.

With regards to Geoff's list, I have a similar, but not identical list, hence the request for as much feedback as possible. Please keep it coming!

Saw this posted elsewhere today:
"We've had a minor rename here in Granadaland this morning.
At 10:45 - "BBC ONE NWest" has become "BBC ONE N West" - note the extra space before the W."

I don't know if it is relevant but West/Westcountry become one Channel 3 region on 1st January 2015 from a legislative point of view, when the new C3 licences start.
