hmmmm.....I would have to say Carlton Television.
We loved Westward, and TSW for Gus Honeybun, then Westcountry took over - which was disappointing but at least they were still local. then the kings of shitemasters Carlton took over our beloved ITV station. apparently having our local news broadcast from Bristol (we live in Cornwall) is fine. and then you have ITV complaining that the audience figures have dropped in Devon and Cornwall by over 70%!
What the frigg thought that moving our local news to over 140 miles away we would just sit there and take it? we all started to watch Spotlight on the BBC instead (which now coincidently has the highest percentage viewing figures of all the regional BBC news shows.
rant over.

ThisI'm in Devon and it's the same here. Why the fuck would I want to know what's going in bloody Gloucester?
And the sub-regional thing where I'm told some local rubbish about Yeovil (90-odd miles away) but not Dartmouth (3 miles away) because the River Dart appears to be the cut-off.
Bring back Gus Honeybun though, and all will be forgiven.

Fuck you, I grew up in Devon but I work in Gloucester so what is going on in both places is completely relevant to my interests.I hope you're not always this wrong about everything.

Forget Gus Honeybun, what about Judi "Slutty" Spiers then?She did strange things to me when I was 15...
I seem to remember her nickname was "The Father's Fantasy", or something like that.

Judy Spiers is on local radio these days, I have a load of old ITV westcountry postcards with all the faces on them.I must say Judi Spiers looked like a right go-er.

I work for ITV...Worked for a company that was taken over by Carlton and then it became one big, happy ITV family (not my words).
Completely agree with all you say the ITV Meridian region seems to encompass a mishmash of left over bits of other regions rather than an autonomous area.
Paul Ross once complained of the region by saying "What do I care if something happens in Gloucester and I live in Essex? I don't care what happens at the end of my street"
My friend Dominic Heale used to present TSW programmes with Gus Honeybun and says he is a nightmare to work with. Can't be much worse than Basil Brush..... or Bill Oddie..... Bonny Langford etc.
