With over 3 years wait, Meridian at Northam is finally being bulldozed. I originally took pictures I posted on this site back in May 2005 of the site boarded up; in the last 2 weeks the larger studio at the back is being pulled down.

UPDATE : a very good link on Youtube by some lucky guy who actually visited the site in June!
Loads of on-site photos and interior shots; an exclusive he says!

Well there are the studios in Whiteley.

And obviously Maidstone, as you say, now belongs to the local consortium although the Meridian newsroom is based there.

Won't that be the new home for the various West/South West opt-outs for news though, if ITV plc get their way?
