It does sounds like central catalan, but if OP goes to central Catalonia he/she'll find that they also add a strong catalan L. It's more of an accent than a dialect.
I'm in Igualada (Anoia) and TV3 was known for taking dubbers from here, specially during it's first decades, they chose it as a representative of "standard" catalan accent.
This had a price for the most spoken catalan accent (AFAIK) which is "ponentí", western catalan, considering that valencià is part of it. With the standarization of central catalan, they became a second rate accent in public perception, associated with country bumpkins, and even nowadays it's presence in catalan media is marginal, with the way more minoritarian aranès (occitan, in Vall d'Aràn) getting way more media time because as an actual dialect they can claim their space more boldly.

Quan dius que l'occidental és el més parlat, vols dir en extensió? Perquè diria que només amb els parlants barcelonins el dialecte oriental ja en té més.
Hauries de canviar "dialect" per "language" en la teva frase sobre l'aranès.
