Advantages: Central is good and the Readers are likeable

Disadvantages: Hear all the news about places miles away.

Neighbours here say did you see such and such on television or hear such and such on the news last night. Your neighbour can be watching television at the same time as you but not see it.

Why because our town is in the odd position of one house being able to get Central television but 5 minutes walk away they get HTV and in a lot of cases even next door neighbours having different.

Sometimes news from our area - Fairford - will be told on Central but usually Central news is all about Oxfordshire and Birmingham. I love Birmingham dearly but I really dont want to hear their local news instead of our own.

My Mother who lives over 100 miles away gets HTV and she hears all the local gossip about around here. Now this really does not make sense.

Central is a good ITV station but for one thing. When things go wrong no one is watching to see the tape stuck or the errors as it takes them ages to realise it.

If things go wrong, and it does happen at least once a day, they never apologise just carry on as if nothing has happened.

We have tried all sorts of moving the arial to get other stations but none works. Probably something to do with the position of us to the airbase!

The newsreaders on Central are good and so are the programmes. Not a lot different from the london ones except the news and oh yes Central has "Take the Highroad" with Mrs. Mac which a lot of areas dont get.
