Yes, I thought maybe Border... Actually, it may be Border Television England.
There's either TTT, BTE and BTS for the "Gateshead" region, or BTE, BTW and something else for Border Scotland (BTS again?)
If BTS appears next the BTE acronym won't be solved, unless we see a BTW or TTT somewhere along the line!
What are you getting in Yorkshire, Steve?
EDIT: Did you just edit your post, or am I going dyslexic with tiredness? I could have sworn you said 'Border Tyne Tees East' and didn't mention a BTS!

Yes
You rascal! I now look very silly!
(I am very silly, but normally manage to cleverly disguise this fact!)
"CNWEST" is showing in the top right corner on ITV and ITV HD Central West also. It's also on ITV London (Sky 973), but it's not on ITV Wales or whichever region is on Sky Go. STV are showing different teleshopping.
ITV HD Border, Tyne Tees, Wales and Granada, ITV Yorkshire and STV HD do NOT have the CNWEST identifier, ITV HD Anglia, Meridian, Central and WestCountry (x2), ITV Channel and UTV HD do.
Assuming the latter group of channels is Chiswick, the rest are Leeds with them providing a clean feed to STV.
The regions played out from Chiswick and Leeds must have changed. I'm sure Central was moved to Leeds around 2004/2005, but appears now to be at Chiswick.
Central South is a oddity - it became part of 'Thames Valley' along with Meridian North, but remained in the Central advertising region - but now it gets Meridian News and is in the Meridian ad region. I believe the former Central South region is now 'fully' Meridian and is played out from Chiswick.

The old Central South area from Beckley became officially part of the Meridian franchise at licence renewal.
