oh whatever. I hardly think BBC1 NE & C and BBC1 West are going to be a ratings loggerheads with each other. Get a grip.

Nice one Spencer, I'd forgotten that one. They may transmit the same programmes 99% of the time, but they are essentially 17 seperate channels for logistical/technical purposes. It looks as though this "3-a-week rule" is flexible when Sky want it to be!

And not even an added line below to say "6am-6pm on Freeview". Good old ITV last minute fudges.

I wasn't implying that they were competing channels in terms of ratings, but none the less they are seperate channels, and launched simulateously on Sky's EPG. The comment I made was supporting Spencer's statement that they all launched together - in direct contravention of Sky's "3-a-week" rule!

ITV 4 has now reverted back to a still and the News Channel is up again, albeit in stretched 16:9. Makes ITV Plc look like a laughing stock imo.
