Where do you live officially on the BBC map? What is your regional news programme?

As ever there are only 10 options. Sorry I've ommitted BBC South West. SPOTLIGHT (Plymouth) Cornwall, Channel, south Somerset and Devon.

(Obviously 'Home Counties' is Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire)

I know some of these regions are overlaps. If on overlap area, which do most people see or which would be the most sensible for your nearest town or city? Otherwise which one do you officially live in?

Dont mean to be rude mate but I have a couple of points:

1) You have already asked this question by asking where people live.
2) There has been polls like this already (ad nauseum)
3) There is little point trying to poll readers with a question that needs more than 10 options. I'm from Scotland which doesn't get a look in.

Sorry, but it seems a little pointless IMHO.

You've also missed off the folks in the Spotlight region!! If I were you, I'd have put LDN and SET together!!

I don't want to be picky, but I should point out the title of the London programme is BBC London News, not LDN. The phrase 'LDN' is never spoken, it only appears on the graphics.

Oh yes, and while we're talking about counties, Humberside and Hereford and Worcester don't exist any more either!

And so does BBC Hereford and Worcester!

In fact Radio Humberside started three years before the county of the same name was created.
