Well said. The whole idea is a shambles. Who on earth in southern Scotland will turn on and be interested in features from Newcastle or Teesside?
An ITV/ITN consortium don't deserve to keep the franchise...it's time for Selkirk to be given to STV and the rest of the area to someone else who'll try to improve the coverage for the north east and Cumbria.
Northern England and Southern Scotland Thread
I hate to sound like a whinging Borderer but the real losers from ITV changes have been viewers in the South of Scotland. We now get an ITV service which offers more news from Sunderland than from our own area. And we have no access at all to wider Scottish-interest programming. "Border Scotland" was ditched, although there is still a separate MUX for it from Caldbeck. We aren't getting a TV service for the wrong county, it's the wrong COUNTRY.
