Yeah you know after the main national news? Not everyone gets "South East Today/Tonight"

What's the usual crack about regional news, that it's 5 minutes of exciting news packed into half an hour? I tend to go with that; regional news IS pretty rubbish. It's demise will be of no great loss to me.

this = less of Alastair Stewart's face on television = a good thing.

BBC have a commitment to it (though cross subsidies with local radio and selling crack to kiddies in playgrounds).
