The Gadget Show used to boast about Sony Vegas being used to edit the show, even though it's a load of bum.

Avid and FCP are the two dominant platforms for most TV production. Quantel systems are also used in News and for high-end finishing, particularly for 3D.
FCP X is deemed a major problem for the broadcast areas that used FCP 7 and earlier (or FCS 3 and earlier) and Premiere Pro is seen as a possible way forward.

Premiere Pro is excellent these days. Make it happen, noggin.
Avid, despite being the industry standard, is the most backward, counter intuitive relics I've encountered in the industry.

It's a shame really, because FCPX has the potential to actually be a very useful editor for smaller regions that use VJ's , but they released it far too early in my opinion. It's missing some really key features and the new timeline was just too different. They really shot themselves in the foot. They are improving it slowly, the new multicam feature is I think even better than the one in FCP7, and they are finally improving XML import and export capabilities. I believe you can even import FCP7 projects now with some 3rd party software. Broadcast monitoring has also just recently reappeared. They still have a way to go though.
I hope that the industry takes a look at FCPX in some time, because once the whole 'version 1' problems are ironed out, I think it has the potential to be a great piece of software. It doesn't deserve to be ignored.

Why isn't Premiere Pro more widely used? I don't mind FCP but I find Premiere a lot more useable.

Depends if they have Macs installed or PCs

Depends what you are used to I guess but I find avid does all that I need in an editing system. It's downside is it's cost compared to other system and support is patchy. If it works well it can be very impressive.
But back to the original question, the system chosen may be tied to another. For example avid newscutter and the script software can be bundled. Independent productions may choose systems on a production by production bases.
