But Calendar East will be a case of turning what is currently only a "part-time" sub-region into a full service - the complete opposite of "downsizing" (so, quite un-ITV plc). Presumably the Kingston-upon-Hull newgathering centre is not a big operation at present, but will have to become so, for the change to a stand-alone programme/service???

It's only the 1800 programme that's being split, so it's not a full service.

I imagine that like the two Tyne Tees 1800 programmes, they will share many/most packages, just presented in a different order and with a different emphasis.

Obviously the new studio/set is going to be a key investment, but apart from seperate presenter(s) for the east programme and studio crew, I don't suppose it will require many more people or resources.

It's a bit like those local papers with mutliple editions where the front page varies but most of the inside pages are identical.

Both programmes will come come from Leeds & the news/packages will be the same on both programmes (more or less) however the order and emphasis is on Lincolnshire. There will only be a few extra staff required.
The whole idea has been floating around Kirkstall road for a while now. The idea came from from YTV bosses iwho want to pick up some of the alienated viewers from Lincolnshire who feel a bit left out. Having moved there recently from North Yorkshire I see their point.

Calendar beat off Look North (Leeds) & Look North (Hull) to win the News Magazine of the Year RTS Yorkshire Award 2006.

Calendars Nicola Sands beat Paul Hudson and Christine Talbot to the presenter award.

It's at times like this you wish Katherine was still around. Laughing

Look North's Brian Baines has died.

You may remember him from a series of reports compiled about the anniversary of television coming to Yorkshire.

He also was featured in a report by Ian White about when he used to make continuity annoucements.

Nation shall speak peace unto nation... but Leeds shall not speak news unto Hull it would appear - Hull reported Brian Baines' death on tonight's programme.

I think Harry is losing it. At the end of today's Lunchtime programme he said that Look North would be on tonight at 8.30 Laughing

While at Kirkstall Road, Jon Mitchell presented the weather forecast out of vision on the lunchtime bulletin this afternoon outside the YTV studios - a fault with the graphics?

And how did Calendar win that RTS award?
