Done? Then let's get down to it.
Well trends continued much as they have before but with London creeping up the minutes per million population chart and the South West getting a lot of flood coverage.

There's a definite bias towards the so-called Celtic Fringe at the expense of the East of the country (nobody likes those Danes do they) but the coverage is still primarily following natural disasters and juicy murders.
| Mins/Mpop | September | October | November | December | Total |
| Wales | 4.75 | 7.98 | 8.68 | 0.45 | 21.86 |

Given how the regions bop up and down the rankings we're still a long from proving my hypothesis (that Northerners are wrong to moan about being neglected by a London centric media in case you've forgotten) is far from proven to my satisfaction.
| Ranking | September | October | November | December |
| Scotland | 6 | 3 | 9 | 9 |
| Wales | 2 | 1 | 1 | 10 |
| Northern Ireland | 3 | 9 | 3 | 1 |
| North East | 7 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| North West | 1 | 4 | 7 | 4 |
| Yorkshire + | 4 | 7 | 2 | 8 |
| East Midlands | 11 | 11 | 8 | 6 |
| West Midlands | 12 | 8 | 6 | 5 |

UPDATED 31/12/2012
As requested below I have added National Averages for Total Minutes and Mins/Pop.
| Tot-Mins | Min/Mpop | |
| Wales | 66.97 | 21.86 |
| Northern Ireland | 27.24 | 15.04 |
| North West | 90.01 | 12.76 |
| South-West | 61.11 | 11.55 |
| Yorkshire + | 58.59 | 11.09 |
| London | 82.56 | 10.10 |
| NAT. AVERAGE | 49.24 | 9.50 |
| Scotland | 44.73 | 8.51 |
| West Midlands | 34.27 | 6.12 |
| South-East | 50.91 | 5.90 |
| East | 24.83 | 4.25 |
| East Midlands | 17.10 | 3.77 |
| North East | 7.91 | 3.05 |
Scotland was above the average until December and I suspect it will go higher in the New Year when the independence debate ratchets up.

It'd be nice to see where the national average is on your table. Currently about 9 I believe, between London and Scotland. Just a line across the table?
Is this what you had in mind?
But what's really important to find out is North London vs South London.
Thanks, yes, that was pretty much what I had in mind.
My back of napkin math had the average somewhere around 9, which is why I mentioned between London and Scotland. Where as you have put it at 12.05, I assume using actual numbers and possibly even a calculator, so I would expect the line to be between the north and south west where one is higher and one is lower.
The average is 9.50 I don't know why it changed when I shifted the table over to the blog.
