Meridian Massacre
20 November 2003 tbs.pm/779
ITV production from outside London? For how much longer? In a major development announced today, network sports and factual production are moving from Southampton to… wait for it… London!
As if we didn’t have enough of our broadcasting coming from the capital, new look ITV are bringing in more.
As part of the same changes, Meridian will move to a new state of the art production centre outisde Fareham.
All this comes at a huge cost. 175 people – around half of the staff at Meridian – will loose their jobs…
How long ITV’s production centres in Newcastle, Nottingham and Bristol have, is anyones guess.
