Americas
Europe
Middle East
Asia Pacific
South Asia
Africa
UK
And all opts outside UK they carry the same programmes all the time with regional opts for weather? Is that right.
And is a generic version actually broadcast anywhere? Thanks
The correct number there, but there isn't a separate Africa opt and there are separate North America and Latin America opts.
And yes, at least for next week's schedule the UK is the only one with some separate programmes. In previous weeks, the two America opts had some different back half hour programmes in their peak time instead of Asia Business Report/Sport Today such as Click and a repeat of World News America, but that seems to stop next week.
Just a quick look at weekend schedules, there are various UK opts for back half-hour programmes (again the same ones that are on globally, but different versions - my guess is no centre breaks). Plus Breakfast each morning and two editions of Sportsday at 18:30 and 19:30 BST.
