"This is BBC One", great last words.
And what a blast from the past from Channel Four.

It is
the
big switchover - the most high profile...
But only if you live in London.
It's high profile because of what and who is in London. As well as a 5th of the population, the area switching contains the HQs of all the big national broadcasters, all national newspapers, and many ad and PR agencies. It also contains national government, the homes of virtually every MP as well as The City of London and head offices of many other influential and important organisations.
Quite. The same reason that Five switched from satellite to fibre distribution for their London transmitter after a widely publicised rain outtage took their satellite distribution out. Like it or lump it - this is the big one. Crystal Palace (and Croydon) have the largest number of viewers - and the most important opinion formers in the audience.
It is as utterly irrelevant to me as Bilsdale DSO will be to you. A foreign country loses their analogue TV signal -- big whoop.
The only real upshot of this is that ten million idiots won't buy my old OnDigital box on ebay now.
