It's no different to Eagle Radio saying they cover Surrey and NE Hants, yet their core FM advertising area is Guildford and the surrounding areas.
That's TV have been using the old commercial radio trick of covering a wider area than they actually do, to make the channel more attractive to potential advertisers.
That's North Yorkshire is the most ridiculous of their brand names for the Scarborough area. That's Yorkshire Coast would have been more accurate.

As far as That's Surrey is concerned, Surrey means Guildford and Woking - and if Ofcom's map from 2011 is anything to go by ( https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/image/0028/94492/Guildford.png ), the signal doesn't really make it to any of the county's other main towns. Most of Surrey doesn't receive That's Surrey, so surely it should be called 'That's Guildford'? I'm sure the same is true in many other cases.
I'm not saying these stations should be covering larger areas, as those are the areas they have been licenced to cover, but it's rather that the naming seems to imply that they do. How can a television channel covering such a small area ever be viable? That's TV haven't managed to update their website with a Surrey section yet, and they don't put their schedules on the site anyway, so who knows if they are also just looping round the same programme all day?
