When will all this happen I wonder ?


Won't be for a long while yet, nothing has been confirmed, I'm not sure Ofcom would let them get away with the Thames Valley, South and South East regions merging just yet, but possibly Thames Valley and South merging for the time being?

Ofcom I think will give the go ahead as there so feeble and Grade is a big noise etc...

Yes I read on digitalspy not until 2009 if so anyway

Thank goodness. The irritating Chris Packham has finally been banished from Inside Out South . Now we have Joe Crowley (sp?) who IMO is a lot better.

South East Today broadcast from Canterbury Cathedral this evening. Why is there always sound problems on their OBs and why does it always seem to be Beverly Thompson's microphone that has the problems?

Unusual sound problem tonight with Gemma from Wakehurst Place, what a great job she has, "where shall we go today then ?" Shame...I imagine it's fairly cheap to do the OB's, might not happen much more if at all if Grade get's his way

Since when has Gemma Humphries done the weather reports during GMTV? It was pretty good this morning.

In studio. Even had a weather sting at the end of it and an aerial shot of the studio with a GMTV logo lit on the floor. Will try and capture it tomorrow.

Surely all that is, is Meridian News, which during GMTV now goes out branded as GMTV. This is because Meridian branding has been dropped from the old Meridian North region, so the pan-regional GMTV slots (plus Oxford) are simply called 'GMTV'.
