I'm glad to see Brighton will be getting BBC South East. Always found it odd that we got BBC South when BBC SE had more Brighton news on it.
On a different note, I don't fully understand the point of the Brighton Central transmitter. It seems to have less channels while Whitehalk is close to central Brighton anyway?

Chris Keene: Yes, I've written this up at Brighton transmitters will be in BBC South East from 7th March 2012 | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
The Brighton Central transmitter serves the area created by the shadow of a tower-block in the North Laine area.
