[Stooky Bill]

I did see some comments on Twitter suggesting that merging Oxford with London would be a better fit as it's commuter belt territory, and feels little in common with the South Coast

Then you're essentially back to the same situation as the 90s, although back then viewers in the Cotswolds saw regional news from as far as Dover. 

The split up of the old South East region and Newsroom Southeast (aka 'F*** Off Kent) was largely driven by London devolution, the regional news from there is even more irrelevant to Oxfordshire residents than it was in 1999 

It's an odd area, if it's not it's own entity (and it's arguably too small for that) then where else do you attach it to? And ITV had the same issue when it started to cut services
