Keeping the regions in the dark ages

Click to see ‘Keeping the regions in the dark ages’ in a variety of different sizesRegional news may be terribly pedestrian, but I like to know what’s happening close to home, so there’s nothing more annoying (okay, there’s plenty more annoying, but you know where I’m coming from) than being told to retune to analogue. Aunty Beeb has even set up a helpline and webpages.

All this so we can have the Commonwealth Games on BBC One. There’s no reason the games couldn’t go on BBC Two. This shoddy treatment of regional news does nothing for the credibility of the digital changeover.
