| Aug 20, 2017 at 15:22 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | In the UK, we'd usually say 'I saw it on the BBC' but never 'I saw it on the ITV'. This parallels article usage with the expanded forms. However, institutions such as universities and science departments usually have their own style guides listing their accepted practices (which will doubtless not be universal) in such areas. | |
