Yes Meridian broadcasts from Locks Heath to to Whole of S/SE England. BBC South Today, only started to cover Brighton, when BBC changed SE part, 1990's. On my Holidays we would have Sue Lawley, Bob Wellings with Nationwide and not, as in those days, Bruce Parker. 1969-1983. I had holidays in Sussex and Kent, 60's, 70's, 80's. South Today was not broadcast there, it was London ie Nationwide. I think Whitehawk got signals from HeathfieldMast. SE BBC didn't really have a local news until years after other BBC Regions, South 1961. The SE News will be a suprise to many viewers in Brighton, who will remember BBC Regional News is I remember it years ago.
