is the
BBC English Region covering
Lancashire ,
Greater Manchester ,
Merseyside ,
Cheshire , Todmorden, the Ribble Valley in
North Yorkshire , the
Isle Of Man , the north-western portion of
Derbyshire and southern
Cumbria .
Many people who live on the
Deeside of
Wales and
Flintshire watch BBC North West as their preferred option. Some northern villages of
Shropshire and
Staffordshire cutting into
Stoke On Trent ,
Biddulph and
Newcastle Under Lyme receive programming from BBC North West.
In the early 1990s the Caldbeck transmitter was transferred to programming from the BBC North East region prompting a name change for all BBC regional broadcasting in the North to BBC North. There is little support for this area of North/West and Mid
Cumbria (along with Haltwistle in
Northumberland ) to resume services from
Manchester as part of the
North West England region, as some viewers as far north as the
Anglo-Scottish Border have little interest in what is happening in
Cheshire and
Derbyshire .
BBC North West television service includes the daily ''
BBC North West Tonight '' news programme, the weekly regional magazine programme ''Inside Out'' and the weekly ''
Politics Show ''.
The region is the controlling centre for
BBC Radio Lancashire ,
BBC Radio Manchester and
BBC Radio Merseyside , and the local editions of the BBC's ''Where I Live'' websites.
The regional headquarters and television centre is at
New Broadcasting House in
Oxford Road ,
Manchester .
