BBC South East is the BBC English Region serving East Sussex, Kent, Brighton & Hove and parts of Surrey and West Sussex.
The BBC region was created in September 2001 by the joining of the Heathfield transmitter (formerly part of the BBC South region) with the Bluebell Hill and Dover transmitters (from the former BBC London and South East region) to form a new regional TV service. Unlike ITV Meridian, it does not serve South Essex (received from a Bluebell Hill overlap), this area being part of the BBC London region instead.
