It's also invariably the wrong time.

Don't forget it's live from Hull - or at least bits of it are.

Razz I knew I had forgotton something.
Its rather ironic that he says 'live' from Hull as 80% is pre-recorded and played in Rolling Eyes

Just wondered if anybody noticed the use of the 'virtual' newsroom on Calendar in the past few weeks, and the differing styles of graphics and presentation styles being used. I'm sure this is YTV being individualistic and breaking with the other ITV generic packages - the other ones I have caught (Central East, Meridian South) seem very poor in comparison.

I love the way that "Kings Lynn" has recently become a by-word, here on TVF, for highlighting the bias of "BBC East Yorkshire Only"! (as I call it) Smile

Look North Hull are hiring - more here.

To be fair to them, I thought the Wilberforce programme went well. The bit with schoolchildren was cringeworthy as required, but there were no major technical cock-ups and it didn't seem too stretched out. From a presentation point of view, going back to the studio for the news rather than having Levy read it on location was a plus as well.

For Look Hull standards it was not a bad production however at the top of the news Peter Levy in his dark, children scaring overcoat, could not even get the link right as he embarrassingly had to stare down at notes to remember what to say - he can't even remember a sentence without bu**ering it up.

Lets look at the job description for the news reporter..,

Join an award winning team of production journalists working on Look North covering stories across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

They won one award at the RTS and there was very little opposition. Any stories should not be based out of range of the tea and coffee in the comfortable studios and offices in Hull Wink

It’s a busy news patch and we encourage creative, off diary stories with high production values.

Since when? The production quality is appauling and borders on amateurish as for off diary stories read fluff banter and Levy ego boosting stories.

We want self starters brimming with ideas who have a nose for news. A flair for production and clear editorial abilities are just as important as effective team work and a commitment to reflecting on air the diverse communities we serve.

Provided you don't come up with anything that contains jounalism that will upset his Levynesses ego - since there will be no news content its unlikely we will edit it anyway. Just remember you will recieve no credit for any flair it will all go to uncle Peter.

You must be able to demonstrate your strong journalism and investigative skills as well as original and creative story telling.

If you have anything about you you will realise that we don't want news we want any old rubbish Peter can't get wrong, preferably he can be rude to someone about and short so he can get on to a pointless celebrity interview.

We are committed to multi platform working ie television, radio and online and the successful candidates must appreciate the importance of this.

We have a whole room of very expensive redunant multi media equipment from the KIT debarcle so if you have any idea what it can be used for we would love to know.

For further information we would encourage you to to contact Dave Betts, Television Editor on 01482 314506

Please don't forget you will have to live in Hull but Dave will tell you its not as bad as all that if you come in to work through the front door and not the staff door at the back where you are likely to get mugged by the druggies. You will need to turn a blind eye to all the chavs and scum that hang around queens gardens.

BBC this is what we do... lie through our teeth to get staff to work in Hull Surprised

A brilliant critique! Only one thing to say to the advert: "Uuuur nuuur" Wink

Oh please don't inflict Ackroyd on us!

Another new background on the lunchtime Hull programme today to illustrate scenes from around the region. It's of, er, Hull city centre, but this time with lots of buses going past. Some of them terminate as far away as the East Riding.

Laughing Reminds me a bit of Central News (West). They've had umpteen different "windows" since 2004, but all have been different views of Brum city centre. Why not sometimes have, say, Worcester or Stoke-on-Trent (or whatever)?

I think that Linda Barker's entrails/mortal remains sprawled across a wall, would be more appealing for a lot of viewers...
