I guess one positive thing is that (depending on the Freeview tx arrangements in the Norwich area), some people may now be able to receive Talking Pictures if they can't receive the temporary HD muxes.
I think Norwich is still taking the original service. I believe that the new Scarborough service has been getting the news from That's York. They renamed That's Scarborough to That's North Yorkshire at launch. Indicating that they possibly plan to merge the areas. So much for "local".

The temp HD muxes serving Norwich from Tacolneston should have better coverage than the local mux.

We may even get Colors HD, Rishtey Cineplex and News 18 as part of the deal too.
It is linked to Viacom18 but Viacom may be negotiating on their behalf.

I would have expected Colors HD & Rishtey Cineplex to have been added at the same time if they were included in the deal. One to watch.
