BBC-2 English Regions
 

Has the last regional program been broadcast on a BBC-2 English region,
and if so which was the last one?

Or could there still be a regional program shown on BBC-2 North East
before the digital transition in September 2012?

I suspect it might have been Harry Gration's Super League Show, but that was a
while ago, in recent years it's been on BBC 1 North, North West, and North
East, (with an overnight national repeat on BBC 2)

Or could there still be a regional program shown on BBC-2 North East
before the digital transition in September 2012?

Unlikely, but possible

I thought that would be a likely candidate.

So no Wombledon displacement of Look North Newcastle from
BBC-1 North East to BBC-2 North East this year then?

Will everybody in England be able to watch the preferred
BBC London News instead or do the BBC have plans for a
Nationwide or England Tonight show instead?

If they have any common sense, which is unlikely as it is the BBC, they
will put Wombledon on BBC2 all the time and avoid the channel swapping
which never works as it should.

Anything of importance normally on BBC2 during Wombledon put on BBC1 but
keeping the News, Regional, and most kids programs at normal times.

I am half expecting Wombledon sillyness to resume at Olympic time.



No need to upset regional viewers. They could use the 24 Olympic streams
mentioned in another thread for Wombledon. Keep BBC One intact.

After this and DSO is completely finished across the whole country, the
BBC should move regional opts to BBC News Channel. Wouldn't be a major
editorial policy change, as there are already special strands on the
channel such as Hardtalk and Click. Would need satellite channel changes
but other engineering changes would be minor?

Then the two flagship BBC channels could show what they want.

And for viewers in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales?

River City would not be appropriate content for BBC News Channel surely?

The Nations opt out on both networks anyway. Just swap one network with
the BBC News Channel. I'll leave you to decide which one :-)

It would be nice to be able to watch proper programmes instead of BBC
Glasgow.



You may be in luck if Mr. Salmond gets his way. Cannot imagine there
would be enough funds for the amount of national public broadcasting as
at present.

As part of the cutting quality first program, the BBC is
proposing to end the national (NI, SC, WA) region content
on BBC-2 sometime in 2014 or so.

Get a satellite receiver and you will be able to watch proper programmes
from Scotland's auld alliance partner.
