 Opt-out is a term used in broadcasting when a nation or region splits from the main national output.In the United Kingdom, BBC One Scotland, BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC One Wales often opt out of the main BBC One schedule in favour of regionally relevant programming.In a similar manner, local television newsrooms present regional news following national news bulletins—the practice having been popularised by current affairs programmes "Nationwide" and "Sixty Minutes"—after which they would opt into the national programme again.
