There is now the rather odd situation that South East Today and BBC Radio Kent have both renamed their Facebook accounts to 'BBC Kent', leaving Kent with two Facebook pages, both of which are active and being updated.

There was a similar situation in the South West. BBC Spotlight and BBC Radio Devon rebranded their Facebook pages to 'BBC Devon', so there were two for a while, both being updated with identical posts. Seems they have either been merged now, or one deleted.

BBC Radio Cornwall's page was also rebranded to BBC Cornwall.

It does seem slightly unfair that the BBC Spotlight page, with a larger following (across Devon AND Cornwall) was rebranded to BBC Devon, giving the Devon page an unfair advantage over the Cornwall one.

The local rebrands in general do seem like a backwards step in my opinion. The pages are mostly posting news, so to move away from the red BBC News colour scheme and naming is quite strange. I think BBC News Devon, BBC News Cornwall etc. would make sense, and also tie in with the local news sections on the BBC News website.
