Ths South East edition will come from Whiteley on Monday.

Indeed, apart from holiday and sickness cover for Phil Hornby, tonight was young Glen's last night in the chair.

The new look programme for the south-east comes from Hampshire from Monday.

Yep. Well we've certainly had the last from Northam now.

Nothing special to mark the end - no.

I don't suppose the north edition said anything either?

I wonder what David Wilson, MD of Southern would have said? A fine building... a very fine building indeed! Those who have seen It's Goodbye From Us, the finale from Southern will know what I'm banging on about.

I just watched the Saturday afternoon edition of Meridian News (South):

- Very nice set, with a very modern feel (shame about the lack of the Meridian logo on the desk now though)
- The stings and titles are now timed to perfection, meaning that the "Weather" sting no longer feels like it was made on PowerPoint
- The captions now animate, which is nice, except for those highly irritating flashing squares
- The opening sponsorship sequence to the weather still featured the Meridian logo, but when the end sequence came on, it had been covered up by an obviously hastily-added "ITV Meridian" logo (cheeky *******, lol)

We here in Newbury had a bit of a preview - we can win the chance to read the news and go to the new studio.

New Hythe held a party on Friday night in a marquee that was erected in the studio car park.
