We are England

[Stanley Matravers]

I'm watching the Bristol edition, via BBC One West SD on Sky.

I presume that the utterly generic wording of the CA was identical for all (macro)-regions. It was the Exmouth lifeguards ident. I wonder whether a geographically appropriate ident was used for each (macro)-region.

I've just checked out the start of the Birmingham edition, which I Sky+ed from BBC One W Mids SD.

It used the Smethwick allotments idents, which seems to support the notion of region-approriate idents being used. It did indeed have the exact same generic CA as preceded the Bristol edition.

Meanwhile, BBC One HD used the ident featuring cyclists in the well-known English city of Belfast. ?

The CA was the same sort of HD-specific wording previously used for Inside Out, explaining which region's version was being shown this week and that you need to switch over to see your local version.
