I would post this in the general thread, but it seems to have been closed

Calendar got a new backdrop tonight (technically they also used it yesterday as well)

I’m not sure what city is depicted, but it is quite a nice night time scene, and it fits in better with the black panels. It also seems to be a static view rather than a video

Hopefully we’ve seen the end of that nondescript view of Leeds they’ve been using for years

My guess is Bradford

Sounds interesting. Did anyone manage to screenshot it?

Does the East/South edition of the programme still have the same Humber Bridge view as before?

The only shot I can find of the new backdrop, still Leeds it seems

There’s also a daytime version of that view which they’re using at lunchtime. And yes, it’s definitely Leeds.

I preferred the previous version which was a lot more recognisable, and was from a higher position showing more of the city. Most of it seems obscured with a load of nondescript roofs in the foreground of this shot.
