''Morning Sou’West'' was a regional programme broadcast in south west England. It was aired as an opt-out from [[BBC Radio 4]] on Radio 4 VHF/FM frequencies in the south west as well as on Radio 4’s [[Plymouth]] MW relay. It was broadcast on weekday mornings between 6:30{{nbsp}}am and 8:35{{nbsp}}am, rejoining ''[[Today (BBC Radio 4)|Today]]'' for ''[[Today in Parliament|Yesterday in Parliament]]'' when Parliament was sitting - the programme was extended by eight minutes when Parliament was in recess, ending at the same time as the Today programme. The programme was supplemented by five-minute regional news bulletins at 12:55{{nbsp}}pm and 5:55{{nbsp}}pm. Morning Sou’West was not broadcast at the weekend although regional news bulletins did air on Saturdays at 6:55{{nbsp}}am, 7:55{{nbsp}}am, 12:55{{nbsp}}pm and 5:55{{nbsp}}pm. No regional news coverage was broadcast on Sundays.
The programme ended on 31 December 1982, 18 days prior to the launch of [[BBC Radio Devon]] and [[BBC Radio Cornwall]].
The programme’s cessation marked the end of regional programming opt-outs on Radio 4 as by now [[BBC Local Radio]] was available across much of England.
