It's strange that they're calling it ITV 1+1 West on the EPG, if it's really showing ITV 1+1 Wales.

If anything, West and Westcountry should be showing one of the English regions.

I don't know why Freeview is showing 'ITV1+1 Wales'.

The satellite feed was clearly listed previously as being a +1 of 'ITV1 Westcountry South', so they've either subsequently changed that, or DSat and DTT are showing different feeds. However, it would be odd if DTT was showing Wales when a West/Westcountry version existed on Satellite.

It's difficult to tell at the moment, as EPG 131 is only showing programme data up to 11:30pm. Ths may be different for someone with an SD box, as they access a live version of the EPG, rather than one which is downnloaded. Perhaps someone could have a look to see what's showing at 6pm tomorrow.

EDIT:
Programme data for tomorrow has now appeared. It is indeed ITV1 Wales.

In the former Westcountry region we now get the news from 3 other regions. The offerings from ITV are now:
    103 ITV1 (with news from Bristol - with the odd mention of Devon/Cornwall)
    131 ITV1+1 (with news from Wales)
    178 ITV1 HD (with news from Birmingham)


Stuart...

Do you ever watch the weekend bulletins? I live in Bristol, but I feel that they always seem to contain Westcountry-based news stories? - Fronted by a Westcountry presenter - and a Westcountry weather presenter.

Also... do you get the ITV West backdrop in the morning Daybreak bulletins?

On the rare occasions I've caught the regional news at weekends, I have noticed that ITV have 'allowed' the former Westcountry presenters on air. How kind of them. Wink

The Daybreak bulletins seem to switch between the Clifton Bridge backdrop and the pan-regional yellow map. I suppose it depends on whether someone remembered to change it. However, I don't tend to watch Daybreak very much!
