To be fair, it's not just Meridian who are guilty of that.

It happens regularly on all the stations with the new layout studio and a DOG.

There simply aren't that many combinations of positions for blue and yellow on the screen.

Yes, obviously there are going to be clashes - but Central West and London Tonight don't have a nasty yellow splodge under the DOG on their main presenter shot.

Does anyone else think that this shot - with the yellow square under the DOG - looks very poor?

Surely they could have done better than that?

This seems to have been resolved - at least in the Meridian South sub-region.

One question - why is there a pan-regional weather forecast at weekends? Why can't multiple versions be recorded as on weekdays?

At the end of this mornings bulletin in Meridian South, Fred said "well that's all the news from the team here in Southampton, we're back during the Lunchtime News"!

Well, he had been broadcasting from Southampton for so long that it must have become like second nature for him to say so.

No, that's where the old building was...

The new building is in Whiteley, Fareham.

He said that on Meridian Tonight (south) too, I thought it was odd becaude I was pretty sure the new studios weren't in Southampton.

He's not far wrong when he says Southampton.

Whiteley's well west of Fareham, up near Hedge End, which is technically part of Southampton.

I doubt if many southerners would make a great fuss over him being wrong.
