Isle of Man

Both BBC North West and BBC North East and Cumbria seem to claim the
Isle of Man as being within their editorial area. Is it in both?

It moved at DSO (June 2009) to BBC North West, and ITV Granada

Before DSO it was ITV Border (Caldbeck), and BBC North West (fed from
Winter Hill), but with most BBC relays switching to Caldbeck for their
input feeds outside of the regional news slots. A couple were 100% tied
to Caldbeck I think, so they carried BBC NE+Cum.

It is not even in the United Kingdom.

I wonder why they don't have their own station though. Many people over
there seem to have lots of money...

How did the switching work, technically speaking?

I'm sure there's a BBC research paper on it but I couldn't find anything.

It was a VBI command in Winter Hill's signal I think ?
