When I was young, it was traditional to expect BBC2 to be a couple of minutes behind. Given the intended and actual market splits and the way the BBC is funded, this was not a marketing issue. At the other end of the scale, BBC radio transmits the "Greenwich Time Signal" on many channels on many hours, so the public expects it to be correct. -- Clive D.W.
