BBC South is the BBC English Region serving Hampshire, Isle of Wight, the majority of West Sussex, eastern and central Dorset, eastern Gloucestershire, southern and eastern Oxfordshire, southern Northamptonshire, western Berkshire and parts of Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.
BBC South's television output (broadcast on BBC One) consists of its flagship regional news service BBC South Today (including an opt-out service for viewers served by the Oxford transmitter), the topical magazine programme Inside Out and a 20-minute opt-out during Sunday Politics. A late night football magazine show Late Kick Off is co-produced with BBC West, BBC South West and the independent production company Pergall Media.
The region also produces and broadcasts occasional regional documentaries, the latest examples being Titanic – Southampton Remembers and Sea City. The former, broadcast in April 2012, looks at the impact of the disaster on Southampton, where most of the ships staff were recruited while Sea City looks behind the scenes at Southampton Docks and was broadcast in January 2013 with a second series in March 2014.
The region is the controlling centre for local radio stations BBC Radio Oxford, BBC Radio Berkshire and BBC Radio Solent.
