Actually, if I'm right, they should all (since BBC2's February rebrand) be referred to as BBCs One, Two, Three etc. regardless of what appears in the box. The
RT
uses the numbers, though (BBC1, BBC2 etc).
Also, for some odd reason, BBC1 is still called BBC ONE on some trailers.
Looking at the London/Anglia/Midlands edition, there is a lot of regional news programmes to fit in, but why are they listing South Today? Surely if you live in this area you get the South/West/South West version?
I assume South Today is included for Oxfordshire viewers who receive ITV Central? What I don't understand is why South East Today is listed when the equivalent Meridian programme isn't (though that's been the way since London & Anglia were merged). (Incidentally, why is our edition called London/Anglia/Midlands - shouldn't it be either London/East/Midlands or London/Anglia/Central?)

On the radio pages, it actually makes sense for London/Anglia listeners as they have stopped listing all the South West stations in their edition. All they've done is take the usual Midlands spread and added 4 extra channels (Essex, Kent, London 94.9 and Suffolk), all the others were duplicated anyway
Berkshire is there as well, was that previously in the Midlands edition?
Incidentally (this is probably of no interest to anyone outside of Surrey and Sussex!) I've received quick e-mail replies from both Radio Times and Southern Counties Radio, and apparently the removal of the station from the London etc edition is an 'oversight' and SCR will be restored in the next couple of weeks - though goodness knows how they'll squeeze it in!
