The Meridian licence area covers roughly 25% of the population of England, stretching from the Kent coast to Dorset, taking in much of Home Counties, Hampshire and Oxfordshire. It is home to around 9 million people and some of the UK's most cutting-edge companies.

ITV Meridian is divided into two sub-regions - South and South East, with a third semi-independent sub-region for the Thames Valley. Each sub-region has its own news service with news for the West based at the administrative headquarters in Whiteley and the South-East based in Maidstone. Our new Thames Valley service, created from the former Meridian West and Central South regions, is based in Abingdon.
