ITV wants to axe some regional news services

I'm not a Cumbrian or a Manx or a Scot but it's always struck me that Border was never entirely sure of it's identity. I'm not trying to offend anyone but a company that straddles the border and takes in the Isle Of Man as well seems disjointed.

With Yorkshire and Scottish you knew where the channel was broadcasting from and to (And yes i know Yorkshire does broadcast further afield).

Border is different. I think maybe a closer link with SMG, Tyne Tees or Granada with a legal requirement to transmit a local opt-out may be the best thing.
