Fred (Dinenage) has been with Meridian/TVS/Southern since 1964 (again minus a brief tenure at YTV).


I think (from memory) Fred started at Southern 1962. I think the work at YTV was in addition to Southern.
Certainly that was the case when he was quizmaster for Anglia's Gambit in the 70s

There's also Stewart White from Look East.

Both Suzie Fowler-Watt and Stewart White have been paired for over 16 years.

According to the archived BBC bio Stewart has been presenting Look East since 1984, and is now 72 (according to Google/wiki). As for Susie according to her bio she's been presenting Look East since 1997.
