Abstract
ITV’s South of England region, comprising Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Sussex, most of Dorset, large parts of Kent, Berkshire, and Wiltshire and small pockets of Essex, Surrey and Oxfordshire, had very little natural regional unity or ethnic or other raison d’être. Dictated by transmitter coverage, it extended along the coast from Weymouth to Ramsgate and northwards as far as Reading, the Thames valley and London’s southern commuterland. The main UHF transmitters were at Rowridge (Isle of Wight), Hannington (near Basingstoke), Midhurst (West Sussex), Heath-field (East Sussex) and Dover.
