The Guardian tells us that "Inside Out", the weekly regional news programme that pops up with more or less impact on BBC1 has been cancelled - at least for the rest of the year. There are usually eleven different versions on offer around the UK. There's also a question mark about the regional element of the BBC1 Sunday Politics shows, and one-off documentaries from the regions.  For a BBC committed to reflecting more of the UK, these could be serious losses - and Ofcom may take an interest if they are permanent changes.

Good editions of Inside Out and some regional documentaries get weekend repeats on the News Channel.
