Southern had won the right to extend its broadcast franchise eastwards by the Independent Television Authority, after the area was advertised separately.
On 9 October 1964, the service was expanded with the launch of Friday on Ten, a weekly topical magazine show whose name referred to Southern's transmission from Dover on VHF Channel 10.
Alongside South East news coverage, the Dover production team also produced various programmes for Southern's broadcast area, including the nightly epilogue Guideline, rural affairs series Farm Progress and Dougalling, itself a spin-off series of Scene South East featuring reporter Donald Dougal's trademark walks in the region's countryside.
In the event, the final edition of Scene South East aired on Friday 18 December 1981.
Once TVS's own Maidstone studios were opened, the Dover building was closed in 1983 and demolished a year later.
