ITV Wales & West - Sub-Regions

Sub-Regions

The Wales and West region is a dual region franchise area. This originated from the fact that the Wenvoe transmitter originally covered both South Wales and the West of England and so for this reason one company needed to cover both regions.

HTV operates on the Llanddona, Moel-y-Parc, Long Mountain, Blaenplwyf, Preseli, Carmel, Kilvey Hill, Wenvoe and Mendip transmitters, with the former forming the HTV West region and all but the former forming the HTV Wales region.

Programmes could either be broadcast to the whole region through all the transmitters under the simple branding as HTV, or programming could be available in either one of the regions: Wales or West. Each region had its own separate news service and different regional programming.
