Which is actually the only reason I stick with Levy, because he doesn't waste half the show blabbering about football.

You could be editor yourself The new editor started a few months ago - and he's still there! As previously mentioned Hull have got through 3 editors in the 3 years it has existed. It will be interesting to see if the new Calendar will make any dent in the ratings which is the only way that there will be any substantive changes. I understand a new set is a possibility after Christmas sometime. It won't cost that much as the studio is the size of a spare bedroom and you can't get that much in. How they expect to produce any other programmes from there is anyones guess

I say! THAT would be shocking television...

calendar are back in the studio next week.

Will the separate West/East 6pm editions launch as soon as they're back in the studio(s)? Or is the split launch date gonna be a bit later on?

I bet they've done like Central did in Birmingham (i.e. the new dividing wall is not down the exact centre of the total space - but instead affords the "West/pan-regional" studio the lion's share of the space. And "East" will get a broom-cupboard's worth of space by comparison, seeing as that studio/set will only be used for one 30-min show per day).

It'd be nice if they could finally introduce city skyline backdrops, even if it's only for the 6pm edition. They'd probably have to have varying backdrops, like Anglia West or Central East. "West" backdrops could include Leeds, Sheffield, York... "East" backdrops could include Hull, Lincoln, Skegness... (or whatever)

They've been in the temporary newsroom studio for 10 weeks so some major building works must have been going on.

It will be interesting to see if the studio looks notably smaller on Monday and whether they still have the extra front plasma etc

Does Vickly stil work at Yorkshire?
(as she still does regular bullitens on Tyne Tees)

Yes

Up until last week she was hosting Calendar News every day

Calendar was broadcasting from a broomcupboard this weekend ahead of returning to the studio tomorrow

So Calendar is back in the studio, can you spot any differences, does it look notably smaller?

Has it fully split into 2 programmes for the 6pm show now then? If so, who presents the other version? (And which half gets Christine and Duncan?)
