Is there still a YTV regional office in York, which is shared with Tyne Tees?
Is that the one which was opened by Tyne Tees not long after YTV's "Turn your aerial to Yorkshire" advertising campaign? After the merger it became shared between both franchises.

There are still chevrons on view at the (former?) Sheffield and Hull offices though I believe.
The one at Charter Row in Sheffield has been the same since the early nineties and it will probably be like it for some time yet. That particular area of the city centre has been earmarked for a new shopping development, with many shops and restuarants having been compulsoraliry purchased. It has, however, been pushed back with the usual "economic climate" excuse, meaning it's a sea of empty units - and it looks a right mess.
That office is now closed and due to be demolished as part of the Sevenstones development, scheduled for 2010/1. YTV Sheffield has now moved to the Sheffield Business Park.
BBC Leeds seems to have a lack of weather presenters at the moment - Keeley Donovan is doing the main 6.30 programme weather at the moment.
She was in the studio yesterday, which Ian remarked was the first time she'd done the main programme, and doing an extremely competent job of previewing the Leeds festival from the site today.
I presume that both Paul and Lisa are off for one reason or another, so what is happenning with the Breakfast forecasts?
Incidentally Harry and Christa are both off as well, so it's a week of stand-ins.

It was strange that Keeley did the weather yesterday evening as Lisa was on the Hull forecast and it was a prerecord.
I wonder if it's got anything to do with the Leeds Festival, they can send Keeley to do both reporting on the event and the weather forecast (she's got quite a bit of journalism/reporting experience) rather than the usual arrangement of sending both Charlotte Leeming and either Paul or Lisa.
Lisa was still on at Breakfast this morning (with Amanda Harper) so maybe its as you say, so Keeley can do Leeds Festival stuff
Last night they also played out the full closing music & bed, normally if they start it at the start of the bed, it crashes back to network half way through
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the programme does seem so much better with Ian and Jenny!
Also I think Ian has a pretty strong say in the 'grammar' of the programme - the standing shots by the screen at the start, standing for the previews, etc. Thought it looked pretty good.
On Tuesday, when we got the full closing music, looked like someone got the timing slightly wrong and told the presenters to 'shut up' before they should have. Last night conversely they had lots of e-mails on the high speed rail story to read but ran out of time.
