The south-east programme will be presented from Whiteley in Hampshire but the reporting team is back at Vinters Park in Maidstone. It's a £2million facility at the Maidstone Studios, which is located exactly where the Coast to Coast newsroom was until December '92.


I love that little fact so much!

After 12 years they move back to the same newsroom. How many of the staff at Meridian in Maidstone worked on the original TVS Coast-to-Coast newsroom there I wonder...

I suppose the cynical reply to that has to be "neither of them"!

Yep - they have £1m desks each!

(AIUI at least a couple of technical/craft staff moved from the TVS Coast-to-Coast operation to Meridian News, though possibly went freelance in the changeover. Now there is no studio requirement many of them won't be moving back I guess. Hopefully there will still be some craft editing, as well as oodles of journalist desktop hack and slash stuff)
