ITV is to cut 40 regional newsroom jobs after announcing plans to merge two separate local news programmes in the south of England in a major restructure of its regional output. Meridian West and most of Central South - two of ITV's smallest news regions - will be brought together to form the new region of Thames Valley.

A full service of new programmes will be launched to cover the region, but the merging of the twoprogrammes will lead to the loss of up to 40 jobs across editorial and production.
