Well, the website arrangements certainly suggest that there's just one PS for the whole of Yorks & Lincs...

Never rated him. Let's hope Calendar can get somebody decent now:

Shocked I wonder if Tim has ever rated you!

You need to sort your quote tags out there, Tim.

I'm sure if you met Squarey you'd give him top marks.

In that case would this suggest that Hull may be getting it's own version

I wouldn't have thought being political editor of Look North Hull would provide much work otherwise, making one report per week on Look North Hull if you are lucky?

Two so far this week I think, but you're right - unless the plan is only to ramp up the woeful lack of political coverage on Look North. Since until now it has mostly consisted of Peter Levy shouting at councillors it wouldn't be hard to improve it.

Wasn't there an attempt at doing a show from Hull some time ago? The present programme does seem very biased towards the west of the region.

Perhaps we'll see something if/when the suggested set alterations happen. Just so long as it's not Levy presenting. Caroline Davis would probably be good, actually.

They have been after a political editor for a while now - and it was always understood that there would be a politics show from Hull (its the only region that doesn't have one) however as mentioned before it was down to money. Too much spent on the HQ in hull and not enough left over for staffing. Worryingly its only been up for a couple of years and is covered in scaffolding Confused

There is plenty of political news in Hull, infact the alleged goings on at the council could fill an entire week of programmes. The issue is, would the BBC rather make the Peter Levy style of show or make a news programme? Unfortunately (for now) the decision was made to make the latter. It will be interesting to see if the new boss who starts in the new year will opt for the same or go for a risky news based programme and upset Peters Wrinkly brigade Razz

If the politics show gets the go ahead it will take a lot of journalistic work & money. There is a shortage of money generally at the moment - If there is a decent licence fee settlement it will happen.

She's been doing a few reports as well - seems to have popped up as Phil Connell left, have they swapped?

I didn't think Radio Sheffield touched Rotherham with a barge pole? Or have they rediscovered part of South Yorkshire they never knew existed all of a sudden. Laughing
