I agree that it is a ridiculous situation about the North Gloucestershire area.
Currently on analogue channel 6 if you have one of those Samsung wide screen TV's by the way,ITV West/HTV West is on there and broadcasting the regional news and weather for the whole Gloucestershire,in contrast,Freeview channel3 in the N.Gloucestershire area is STILL stuck with ITV Central which is hardly appropriate for this part of the West Country!,Ditto still have BBC Midlands Today.
This was an issue that should have been resolved a few years ago,that the N.Gloucestershire area SHOULD be getting both BBC and ITV West channels but wes still haven't,why do places like Stroud and the Forest of Dean have them and Gloucester,Cheltenham,Tewkesbury and surroundng areas still stuck with both BBC & ITV Midlands is beyond me when there is no cultral affiliation to the Midlands!!.
What me and others want to know is on the switchover day in N.Gloucestershire will BBC &ITV West FINALLY be replacing the Midlands ITV and BBC,the fact is West NOT Central is the ITV region for Gloucs.,and we should also be getting Points West instead of Midlands Today.
