Surprised at Wales taking the Scotland opts, I'd have expected it to be the London output if Llandaff is out of action.
I guess the North West stuff was RBS from Winter Hill on analogue.

I think Cymru is broadcasting Radio 4 right now.
It is yes, I've just worked that out - you beat me too it.
Is Radio 4 being broadcast on BBC Cymru FM as well as satellite?
No - we've definitely got Lisa Gwilym as scheduled on Cymru FM in the North, and 'Money for Nothing' on Radio Wales FM.

I obviously can't get Radio Wales and Cymru on FM, but on Satellite Radio Wales is silent and Radio Cymru is on air with people speaking in English (AFAIK there is no English language output on Cymru - apologies if i'm wrong) - having said that one of the guys has an Irish accent.

Which suggests that the radio studios are powered (conventionally or from a back-up supply) but the means of feeding the signal to London isn't.

It would appear so. Why they took Scotland instead of London, I don't know.
EDIT: 15:10 - I've just checked Analogue - BBC 1 is still showing London (as, of course, is Satellite) but I've now got RBS from Winter Hill on 2 (with NW teletext, as opposed to West earlier on - I don't know how and why this has happened!).

Really?! Are the kids channels operating on Freeview?
I can get Cbeebies. But I've just switched back to news channel and it's a blank screen now. I wonder if it's a problem with freeview... CBBC is also blank

I guess the other question is why BH Wales being down causes the distribution systems to collapse - I thought Energis could re-route things so that a version of the multiplex that is down got to Wenvoe et al?
Certainly in the old days when everything was on BT circuits they were able to re-route the transmitters in the South West to be fed directly from Bristol Comms rather than from Plymouth/Southampton (forget which) which had had its lines cut by a JCB.

Wonder if some sort of system to inhibit Wales taking RBS from the North West while The Superleage Show is on had anything to do with it? I believe there is some system to stop RBS during opt outs.

Quite possibly. NI continuity on 1 now - CA welcomed viewers in Wales who are 'with us for the afternoon'.
EDIT: sorry - simultaneous post! Did anyone catch analogue - BBC 1 Ceefax still showing London. One would have thought that if London were able to feed Wales with anything, it'd be Network, not NI, so perhaps analogue is still separate and Cardiff have managed to switch DSat to NI...

Switched away from Scotland because they're on a different schedule due to River City but NI's is similar to Wales's?
