From watching on YouTube I have been down a crazy rabbit hole of the old transition from Newsroom South East to South Today & BBC London.
Can I ask the collective brain trust that is on here. How was the process done and what were the dates involved? Sorry to be a pain in the neck.
The dates were as follows:
16 Oct 2000 - The Oxfordshire area broke away to join South Today, with its own sub-opt
4 Aug 2001 - Newsroom South East moved from Elstree to Marylebone High Street and began broadcasting in full widescreen
3 Sep 2001 - The Kent area broke away (with East Sussex breaking away from South Today) with the launch of South East Today. This left Newsroom South East broadcasting only to what would be the new London region
1 Oct 2001 - BBC London News launched, replacing Newsroom South East
