  • Fred Edgar Dinenage is an English television host and newsreader, based in the south of England. Dinenage has appeared as presenter of many British television programmes (most of them produced by Southern Television and its successors TVS and Meridian), such as Gambit, Tell The Truth, How, and its successor How 2, as well as the BBC quiz show Pass The Buck. He is also a well respected newsreader, for many years presenting the Southern edition of Meridian Tonight for ITV Meridian, alongside Debbie Thrower. He joined ITV Meridian in 1993, though he was inherited as chief male anchor of Meridian Tonight's predecessor programme 'Coast To Coast', on the TVS franchise which preceded Meridian. He spent a brief period in the late 1970s covering regional sport for Yorkshire Television (Dinenage was shown in a YTV technicians' Christmas tape as being "on loan from Southern Television"). He also appeared as a relief presenter of the networked ITV Saturday afternoon show, World of Sport, something which earned him an appearance on the high energy, anarchic children's Saturday show Tiswas. He also has his own weekly column featured on the magazine of the Southampton local newspaper Southern Daily Echo. Alongside his television career, Dinenage has written several factual books, including ghosting on autobiographies My Story and Our Story for the Kray twins. He is a keen follower of Association Football, and was on the board of directors at Portsmouth FC for a number of years. Dinenage became co-anchor of a new pan-regional edition of Meridian Tonight on Monday 9 February 2009, presenting alongside former South East anchor Sangeeta Bhabra.
