Would it be possible for the Red Button Digital Text Team to publish an updated version of Andrew Bowden's The BBC Red Button Page Number List Blog Entry and Lists from the Press Red Blog 11 May 2009 between now and the completion of Digital Switchover right her in the Internet Blog?

Here's an idea - how about when Snooker is shown on Freeview, and as they only show one table - how about considering split screen coverage? I think it may be possible - and you could have the option to switch between table commentaries? Could be worth piloting?
