[QUOTE="Skip Channel, post: 212804, member: 175117"] Hmm, doesn't seem like good news to me (excuse the pun, not intended!) Right now, Meridian West (or as we call it: Meridian North / Meridian Thames Valley) has a news service that is far better than the BBC's. It ain't great, it's local news after all (!) but it's far more local than BBC's South Today and staffed by people made of more flexible cardboard. :D OFCOM already let ITV PLC move the studios from Newbury (which is one of the towns covered by the service) to someplace, IIRC between Southampton and Portsmouth (which isn't part of the editorial area.) IIRC, when Meridian first got their licence they were supposed to be opening a studio (for links) in each of the large towns they covered. Not a chance of that now! [/QUOTE]
