I’m sure he’s not sad about it.

Oh that is a shame yet Helen Ford remains?! Bonkers! Did she get a special farewell mention at all? Indeed, she was a regular on Tyne Tees Today, the latterly the south edition of North East Tonight with Andy Kluz! Whatever happened to him?!

The first split news service was in March 1993, which was axed in September 1996 when Mike Neville returned.

September 2005 was when the split news service resumed until February 2009 when the operation merged with Border.
