As part of the BBCs move to making all channels and regions High Definition, and closing down their Standard Definition (SD) channels over the next few months (see my post HERE ) , the first part of these changes will take place on

Tuesday 17th January.

The first changes will affect a few “sub” regions of local News.

BBC One Oxford will be closing down. Its viewers will be moved automatically on Freesat and Sky to BBC One South

BBC One East W will be closing down. Its viewers will be moved automatically on Freesat and Sky to BBC One East (East)

And ​BBC One East (East) will change its name to BBC One East following the BBC One East (West) closure.
