[LondonViewer]

I think when it comes to News you make a great point.  As the UK’s Capital (a small Country), London seems like the right place for National News to come from with Regional News (Nation News in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland’s case) coming from Regional Studios as per ITV’s model.  Despite all the cuts over the years, ITV’s set up just seems much more natural than the BBC’s.  The BBC ❤️ to waste OUR money though…

However I do think other types of programming must come from throughout the UK to show our wares to both a Regional/National and International audience.

The UK is not a small country and there are loads of smaller countries that have more comprehensive local/regional set ups. 
The idea that everything must come from London is a very UK mindset and explains the differences you see throughout Europe/World where business activity is less concentrated around the capitals and more evenly distributed amongst the wider city regions.
