Hi All,

Wonder if you can help me, I need to collect all the CORRECT names for each ITV/BBC Regional news opt (including the small breakfast bulletins such as ITV Thames Valley's "GMTV News" and opts such as the BBC Oxford opt) to give to the assistant manager at work in order for our programme scheduling system to carry the correct programme names (so our clients know what they are getting!)

Of course, I do know the majority of the names, but it is the minor details such as the one I mentioned above that I need to make sure we get correct!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even better if someone can provide me a full list in a Microsoft Word or Excel format!

Thank you in advance.

Well the Channel Island ones if this is any help to you are :

'BBC Channel Islands News' on every bulletin, and 'Channel Report' for the main ITV 6pm weekday half hour bulletin, and 'Channel News' for every other bulletin.

For the BBC Regions at least, this page is helpful:

The main 6pm evening edition is simply 'Calendar'; all other bulletins are 'Calendar News' (weekend bulletins also branded this way, but referred to on the EPG as 'Calendar News and Sport' IIRC).

There isn't a Scotland Tonight - just Scotland Today.
