Meridian launched it's local news service from Maidstone Studios, Southampton Studios and the new Newbury Studios. Dover wasn't involved as a base. Later the Maidstone Studios service was moved to the new New Hythe centre for a decade or so and then back again.

I was talking about TVS's launch. Maidstone wasn't ready for launch so their South East News came from Southerns studio in Dover. On videos of the end of Southern and the start of TVS you can see that they were still using the studio right up to 31/12/81 and it appeared with its new set the next day.
