أغر؟´«أ½
West programmes launch on Digital Satellite
أغر؟´«أ½
West's programmes will be available on the digital satellite platform
for the very first time from Tuesday (29 July 2003).
All
digital satellite viewers in the region will be able to receive
أغر؟´«أ½ West's complete local programme portfolio آ– including أغر؟´«أ½
Points West, Inside Out (West) and the Politics Show
(West) آ– at the 101 setting on their Electronic Programme
Guide (EPG).
Previously,
satellite viewers had to return to their terrestrial services to
access أغر؟´«أ½ West programmes.
Now
viewers can stay on satellite and not only receive their local programmes
at the 101 setting, but also use the EPG to watch the أغر؟´«أ½'s local
programmes from anywhere across the UK.
This
new development also widens choice - enabling viewers on the cusp
of two or more regional broadcasting areas to select, for the very
first time, which local service they prefer.
Andrew
Wilson, أغر؟´«أ½ West's Head of Regional & Local Programmes, says:
"Technology is constantly evolving and can sometimes be confusing
- but this is a welcome development which gives viewers more control
and makes programmes made for and by local people more even more
widely available.
"For
example, anyone who has moved away from the West but can't bear
to be without their daily fix of Susan Osman and Chris Vacher can
keep up to date with all Bristol's news by selecting أغر؟´«أ½ West on
their EPG.
"Similarly,
if a regular Points West viewer is going on holiday to Scotland
and wants to check the weather there, they can tune into أغر؟´«أ½ Scotland's
news and weather services at the flick of a button."
Further
information on these changes can be found on the أغر؟´«أ½'s digital website
