I agree, it's pretty sloppy. Another example of this sloppiness is the naming of the BBC channels on satellite. We have BBC 1 NI, BBC 1 London on one hand and BBC THREE, BBC FOUR on the other hand.
Actually Crusty, the channel branding is correct in that its BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC THREE, and BBC FOUR. Regards upper or lower case, the channel number is in upper case with the nation/region in lower case eg, Wales, Scotland, London etc. NI can't be in lower case because, of course, they are initials. The fact that the nation/region is in lower case makes it a lot easier to read under the upper-cased number.

Hmmmmm. And why are the channel names RTE One and RTE TWO? How difficult is it to keep upper or lower case consistency across two whole channel names?
