BBC North West Region
The BBC North West region covers Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, southern parts of Cumbria, the Peak District, northern Staffordshire and the Isle of Man. It is also the preferred region on Deeside and in Flintshire. Transmitters in the extremes of West Yorkshire, covering towns like Todmorden previously broadcast this regional version but now are covered by BBC Look North. The programme can be watched in any part of the UK (and Europe) from Astra 1N on Freesat channel 955 and Sky channel 958. The latest edition of North West Tonight is also available to watch on the BBC iPlayer.

Famous quotes containing the words bbc, north, west and/or region:
“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
“The battle of the North Atlantic is a grim business, and it isn’t going to be won by charm and personality.”
—Edmund H. North, British screenwriter, and Lewis Gilbert. First Sea Lord (Laurence Naismith)
“It was in and about the Martinmas time,
When the green leaves were afalling,
That Sir John Graeme, in the West Country,
Fell in love with Barbara Allan.”
—Unknown. Bonny Barbara Allan (l. 1–4)
“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
