Below are all of Betamax_man's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.The regional news on Look North from Leeds is, in my opinion, well worth the money and is much better than Calendar on itv. They had a good team with Harry Gration, Christa Akroyd and Paul Hudson, who all gelled well. The replacement for Christa (who left suddenly), Amy Garcia is a good replacement. I like to see news that matters to me and the BBC are the people to do it.
And finally... BBC comes clean over split with Christa Ackroyd - Yorkshire Post
If the BBC used the time wasted on BBC One (Simulcast of BBC News at night) and BBC TWO (This is BBC Two at night), and cut down on the repeats, they could get rid of BBC Three and BBC Four. I remember when I was a child, there was only two TV channels - BBC VHF C2 and ITV VHF C10. Those were the days. (YO422QG)

Now the change has happened to Yorkshire MXR i.e. Real Radio changed to Heart Yorkshire, Heart London to Smooth Radio and the removal of Real XS :-( , my Pure ONE does not receive Smooth but the Ford Sony does. Any suggestions?

John H. Brogden: If you're able to receive BBC One and Two then you should be able to receive BBC radio. Do you have more than one Freeview receiver, if so, is it the same on al? I would suggest it's a problem with your receiver.

MikeB: thought that would be the problem. I remember years ago I managed to receive NED 1,2&3 from Holland & Zdf from Germany. Those were the days of Analogue TV

Brian: Is there a problem with your digital radio maps. All maps point to a place off the coast of Africa between Gabon and Ghana.

Excuse me for being thick, but how can scrapping BBC three save money, if it is still going to be broadcast on the internet and the transmission slot being used to transmit BBC one+1? Same production costs, same transmission costs.
BBC three is aimed at the late teenager to 30ish. A lot of which don't have broadband internet access. So how can they be expected to watch?
All I see is flaws in the whole idea.
