Well spotted. I didn't even notice that!

HLS streams did used to be available for local news and still are although they now don't show in GiPs results.

I can't find any at the moment that have 2 CDNs for HLS modes. Only HVF modes seem to have 2 but I could be missing it. Do you know any specific programmes that do have 2 HLS CDNs?
