Carolyn Hodgson did the Lunchtime bulletin on Calendar East today. Is this her first time as a news reader ? I associate her more with fluffy features and showbiz reporting.

If you wish to have a go at me, I can hold my own. Engage.

I am only prepared to do so off-forum and in Private Messaging ONLY and only then, if you're prepared to drop the 'Christa Crap/Slackroyd and other petty insultry stuff.

If you're not prepared to do that then I simply won't bother.

I'm pretty sure Christa can handle it.

Insults bounce off her boodydoos, I'm told.

Just a thought which crossed my mind over my muesli this morning... Does anyone else think that Danni Hewson looks a bit like Sally Phillips of I'm Alan Partridge and Smack The Pony fame?

Whilst on the subject of Look North Breakfast bulletins, something which has annoyed me for ages... Why do they insist on spending the first half of the bulletin telling us what's coming up in the travel and weather? It's not like it's long to wait for it, plus it's all on the strap at the bottom of the screen (although not all of it for 4:3 or 14:9 viewers of course). Just GET ON WITH IT!

Still, it's better than when a certain presenter used to spend a good half-minute promoting his Radio Leeds show.

I can understand wanting to play on the fact they have a real weather person instead of all commerical radio where it's read by the presenter but 'satellite'. Oh dear...

The travel jingle is just as competitive. Click Here (135KB 8 secs)
"With more updates than the other guys". I take it then that none of the likes of Real Radio, Radio Aire, The Pulse and of course Huddersfield's Home 107.9 do travel every 15 minutes in peak time!

That Traffic Jingle was produced by IQ Beats http://www.iqbeats.com, an american production company, personaly i hate their stuff, it sounds so badly made, yet stations are going for it, mind they are a fairly new company, im sure it wear off in time.

...and tourists there muse... "Are those the pyramids, or is that a BBC regional news presenter sunbathing topless?"

She on holiday? So does that mean Cathy Killick is presenting alongside Harry?

Nope - Penny Bustin's presenting with Harry tonight (as she was last night) but Paul told me earlier today that Cathy will be taking over from Penny on thursday until Christa returns next week.

Thanks for that Katherine. Just heard off Penny herself too!

It is great to have Penny back presenting again! She is a legend and a true professional. Maybe could present with Peter in Hull? He does NEED a second presenter! But great news about Pen.

I've heard categorically from Paul Hudson that Look North's presenter policy will be this:

Peter will be single-heading all Look North programmes in the future, and will not be partnered by any other female Look North employee as a result. Basically, double-headed Belmonts in future won't happen.
