Re: Wrong ITV Region

A lot of the "sub-region" studios no longer exist (Nottingham for instance), so all sub-region programmes are made at the same centralised studios, one pre-recorded, usually by the same presenters, & then output at the same time as the live broadcast of the other sub-region.

This is where you get the HD issue, as only one HD circuit is available from each studio complex. Hence the pre-recorded programme can go out on the SD circuit to the intended sub-region & the live to the other, but the HD feed can only provide the live programme to both.

There are four to be precise.

Made in Liverpool (Winter Hill + Storeton Relay on the Wirral),
That's Manchester,
That's Lancashire,
plus the local Greater Manchester mini mux.
