Television in the Isle of Man, The Crown dependency of the Isle of Man does not have its own television channel and uses United Kingdom television channels. Unlike the Crown dependencies in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man does not have Island-specific opt-out of the BBC or ITV Regional News programmes, in the way that the Channel Islands get their own version of Spotlight and Channel Report and instead the Isle of Man is included as part of BBC North West and ITV Granada.

Famous quotes containing the words television, isle and/or man:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It is so rare to meet with a man outdoors who cherishes a worthy thought in his mind, which is independent of the labor of his hands. Behind every man’s busy-ness there should be a level of undisturbed serenity and industry, as within the reef encircling a coral isle there is always an expanse of still water, where the depositions are going on which will finally raise it above the surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
