Network Identity Group

Every television broadcaster has a 16-bit code assigned by the EBU. This code can be used for automatic tuning or station name recognition in various contexts. It is relevant here because it appears on Teletext in Packet 30 type 0, although it has no connection with the other 16-bit Country and Network Identifier that appears in PDC packets.

Some of the Network Identity Group codes allocated in the U.K. are:

    0x0450  BBC B
    0x0827  TVS
    0x11D2  ITV London
    0x137B  ITV A

This information is somewhat dated, but seems to be valid for those services I can see to check.
