SPECIAL FEATURES

*
Unusually for a News Production Facility, the News Traffic Desk is located immediately next to the News Desk, rather than in its own enclosed area. With this approach, a more collaborative work ethic has been achieved. The Meridian installation consists of a single-studio which, as well as live transmission, produces a pre-recorded opt for the regional on-air split.
