I am no smart arse about Sky or Astra, but you should be able to get two Meridian on Sky, both being South and South East, it's why they moved Granada out of the GMG Transponder and into the Independent's Transponder.

Is this the appropriate thread to vent concerns of bias in "The Delia Smith Show"?

For those not in Sandy/Tac/Sud land, "The Delia Smith Show" airs weekdays on BBC1 at 1830, and is basically a religious programme devoted to the utter and uncontrolled worship of something called "Norwich City FC". This is apparently a professional football club which attracts support in Norfolk.

My only concern is that were it (say) to have been Ipswich who won the Division 1 Championship, and (say) Norwich just scraping in to the play-offs; would the BBC have devoted an entire half-hour peak-time, including RAF fly-past, to Ipswich?

I doubt it.

They even had a live interview with some damn child who explained that the two high points of his past year were when NCFC fluked their way into beating Ipswich (twice)!! And Stewart White lost his voice through having to shout.

Ipswich will probably get into the play-off final, but I'm not unrealistic enough to think that they'll beat Sunderland. So, does this mean that BBC East's sports department are going to subject their considerable audience outside Norfolk to continuous Canary worship of Mrs Smith's team lording it in the Premiership (until this time next year when they get demoted again)?

"Look here Dr Grade, people in Suffolk pay the television licence as well, you know!"

What's that then? An advertising micro-region?

Yes - in analogue. There are separate tables on the rate-card for North , South and West . You can also buy East , which is of course North + South . I don't know if the North variation has yet, or will ever be engineered into DTT.
