It feels really sad, Fred Dinenage has said he will be stepping aside from ITV Meridian News on 17th December. It seems all my life he has been on TV. From HOW as a child to reading the news on Southern TV, then TVS and then Meridian, he has just always been there (58 years). I shall miss him. He is a legend of TV. One of the last of a bread of presenters such as Jack Hargreaves, Ollie Kite who did things differently. Guess I forgot to see how old I was getting. -Cry.png-

Re: Fred Dinenage to step down from ITV Meridian News
I used to love watching him on HOW! It is very rare that we get a glimpse of him here up North. I loved his presenting style and am always happy to see him on the TV when we go away down South. How old is he? He does seem to have been on TV for ever! -Big grin.png-

I also remember him in How, he also hosts a crime program on one of the Discovery channels, might be repeats though but still interesting -Like.png-

My family had a static caravan in Peacehaven from 1980 until 2005, I certainly remember him and Fern Britton on Coast to Coast during the 80's & 90's.
