I have small Enquire:

can some one tell me what is actually still in the 6 remaining English TV local stations?

Plymouth - west
Bristol - HTV
Southampton - south
Norwich - Angila
Carlisle - borders
Newcastle - TT


I know that
Leeds,
Manchester,
kent house and
Birmingham all have offices, Newsrooms, studies, Control room for play outs and ad's

but I wish to know what are still in the other 6 bar the newsrooms and news studio

I dont mean this in the wrong way, but what you've put makes little to no sense? Do you want to know what is still made at the few remaining itv region studios?

I took it to mean he wanted to know what facilities remain in the top list of regional centres, apart from the obvious newsroom and news studios.

Didn't Central's playout closed in 2005, when it was moved to Leeds?

Tyne Tees left Newcastle and moved to their own tin-potting shed in Gateshead, like most other regions have these days, back in 2005.

I'm not sure, are Meridian's offices still open?

The broadcasting centre at Northam closed a couple of years ago and sadly remains boarded up and unused. Meridian moved to Whiteley to an industrial unit where there is a newsroom and three small news studios for each of their sub-regions. Don't know how much other office space they have.
