The counter argument, from the viewer's perspective, is that if the regions are too large the local news isn't that local.

For example, in Scotland the BBC hasn't got sub-regions, and as a result the news is Glasgow/Edinburgh-centric, much to the irritation of most of the population who don't live in them. Though STV News isn't much better at representing other regions as they don't devote much time to them, despite the sub-regions.
