Well nobody is going to be searching "North West News" but you would think they could link the two programmes under one listing, although it's no different to the network news bulletins which are under different categories for the 1/6/10 and don't show if you search BBC News (seems to be various extended reports under that listing).

BBC Sport manage it a bit better - Wimbledon and the Euros having one listing for example, but then sub-categories splitting live programmes and highlight programmes, and further categories for any extras.

The network weekend bulletins another good template in a way. They're all grouped under BBC Wekend News, despite being branded as BBC News (or BBC News at 10 on Sunday night) on air.

And for much of the 90s they used the Granada Tonight brand for the main evening programme at least - not sure if they used it for the late bulletin. Having been bought up on that I've never really been a fan of the Granada Reports brand but it's a bit of heritage they hang on to.

Granada Tonight was just for the main News Programme from January 1990 until October 2001 when the Programme relaunched as Granada Reports.

Granada Reports was used for all News Updates during the 1980s.

There was a period in the 80s when the short bulletins were branded "Reports News", which didn't make any sense.

Was that on bulletins or just during Granada Reports itself as I remember seeing that on the 18:00 edition?
