Default itv+1 last night in East Anglia

We don't normally watch this channel that late, but last night, instead
of showing East Anglia News at the end of the news broadcast, we were
treated to Meridian News, which told us what was happening in Kent, but
not in Suffolk. Is this normal, or did somebody press the wrong button
somewhere? We receive from Tacolneston. I presume that the "+1" was
showing what itv had shown earlier.
We might watch again tonight, just out of curiosity.
I hope this doesn't mean we'll be seeing that TV fella from oop north
that everyone seems to hate.

I think that the live version switches to one of a number of a regional news
centres.
However the recorded version does not have this facility and only shows a
single regional news centre.
Interesting to speculate on how the +1 could use a recorded version of your
local news, though.

Surely the +1 should show a recorded version of what the +0 showed
live? Rather like a tape delay of 1 hour. Or is that not the idea of
them?

There are only 6 versions of ITV-1 + 1, and ITV-1 Anglia is not one
of them, so this is perfectly normal.

Please look forward to the not too distant future when there is only
one version of ITV-1 and ITV-1 + 1 with news from the South Bank.

I'm in Mendip land, West, and ITV1+1 is from Wales.

That can only be an improvement on Central Tonight.
Living on the southern fringe of the region means that London Tonight would
be no less local than Birmingham Tonight seems to be!

That sounds like my BT 'phone book. I am on the southern edge of the
Norfolk region, physically closer to Bury St. Edmunds than to
Norwich, and places in the next village to the south are in a different
book, while places up near Cromer are in mine. BT wanted £10 to sell
me a 'phone book for my near neighbours. (I got one free, eventually,
after much complaining).

And the regional news program on ITV-1 HD from Mendip
is which version?

As indicated elsewhere, apparently not.
The +1 has a more limited regionality.
No idea why.

Phone books ? Does anybody (with the internet) still use them ?
