Interesting comment about the decline of ITV's regional news output in the local Kent newspapers today by Graham Majin (assistant producer of South East Today).
I think still the whole of the South version is live with the first 15 mins of the SE version pre-recorded I guess about an hour or so before transmisson
The weather has always been pre-recorded. It's all rubbish now anyway and I am quite sad about the berk they choose over 'you know who' to do it..

Remind me how this works. How many versions are there now? How much of each version is the same? Your message suggests that the first part of each show is regional and the last part is pan-regional. Is this the case?
I only ask because I watched the show (South) with subtitles tonight and some of the things that seemed to be ad-libbed were subtitled (caption style subtitles rather than the respoken/live subtitles). There were examples of this throughout the programme which suggests to me that the whole thing was recorded.

Two seperate editions are broadcast for the first 18 minutes of news, one edition covering the areas previously served by Thames Valley and Meridian South, and the other covering the Meridian South East area. As the two editions use the same presenters and broadcast simultaneously, one is pre-recorded. Then for the remainder of the programme, the two editions come together for a live, region-wide 'second half' which typically comprises feature-based items, rather than hard news, and a sport bulletin. In a similar manner, the whole of the weekday late evening news round-up is also split into two seperate editions. Weather forecasts continue to be localised to some extent - with seperate forecasts for each of the two areas described above - and are sometimes broadcast in this way even when the news bulletin that they are part of is region-wide.

All very sad, once upon a time it would have been a cardinal sin to pre-record any type of news, especially television news. Not really news now, guess you could call it 'Olds'
Is there actually any part of the program this week which has merged both parts of the region or has the news just been from sepreate for the SE And The S
From having 3 good teams to just truly awful, unprofessional one now. This week is even worse without Fred. I cannot understand how these people were chosen over others!
On a different note, anything happened to Bev over on South East Today as I havent seen her on much lately.
