Our new upstream listings providers (metabroadcast) make a distinction between a programme's brand and it's title. Frequently, listings end up including the brand as the title and the titles as the subtitle. I'm trying to ensure that actual programme titles end up in the <title> element. If it turns out that "Blockbusters" is actually called "All New Blockbusters" then it is suitable to change it going forwards when a showing can easily be identified via a rule. The same applies to Family Fortunes and others.
