BBC and ITV transmit lots of different versions of BBC ONE (15), BBC TWO (4) and itv-1 (17) on satellite. Your viewing card determines the versions you get to see on 101, 102 amd 103. C4 has regions on satellite just for advertising (plus S4C in Wales). If you don't have a viewing card you get "London" as the default. Therefore to create a "local" version of News 24 would require transmitting 15 versions, a little expensive I think.

That's not strictly true anymore - at least on Sky. I don't understand how they do it - intuitively you assume ^^, but my default BBC and ITV are now the Scottish flavours, with the full range of localisations available somewhere at the backend of all the channels. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
