Did someone say that Tony Livesy is leaving . from North West Tonight?) That would be a great shame over the past few years he has done an excellent job on the sports desk at NWT and given it a new lease of life and has often stood in for Gordeon Burns- which was completely unexpected and he was really good. Would be a shame seems as if Look North and North west today are loosing good presenters?Also will be a shame when Claire Frisby is off I used to watch her and Hary years ago in late 2000/01 and I thought she was an excellent presenter!

He's leaing BBC Radio Lancashire Breakfast - not sure about NWT. When it starts in January, the show's coming from London but by February it's due to be back in Manchester. So in theory he could do NWT at 6.30 before the radio at 10.30pm - but whether he will is a different matter!

Look North Hull not from the main set at teatime today - instead it looked to be in front of a screen (CSO?) as hapenned the week before the relaunch

Also there was a weather forecast from Lisa Gallagher - would this have been a 'special' due to the bad weather?

Since they introduced the extra Saturday lunchtime bulletin, we now get a weather forecast on Saturdays.

I think the lunchtime one is live and the teatime one is pre-recorded though. Last week Keeley did it.

Last Minute technical problem in the main studio. It's quite normal to move to the CSO studio in these circumstances.

It's unusual for Keeley to appear on the Hull programme, they usually have Sarah Cruddas if it isn't Paul or Lisa on duty in Leeds. Although that said, Sarah has been seen in the West side in the Politics Show opt before now.

Keeley sometimes appears on breakfast on Look North Hull, and on some Sundays. It isn't that rare to see her on the Hull version

all down to how the shifts/commitments fall.

no real rhyme or reason. Both weather studios are geared up to work into both regions.

Ian White with Children in Need in Yorkshire, live from Halifax

Who is doing it for Hull? Peter Levy?

By the way, it seems Calendar didn't realise there was an ad break at 6:27 tonight. The programme just cut off half way through a report and therefore we didn't get to see the weather. A rare presenting gig from John Shires tonight also.

Yorkshire Television has finally left Hull

Noticed this weekend that the Prospect Centre has finally removed the Yorkshire Television signs and Chevron signs from the old YTV shop. I guess that was the last outpost gone.
