Have you all seen that cheapo advert for a Leeds conference venue that seems to be doing the rounds on ITV1 Yorkshire, complete with captions written right up to the first left hand pixel of the screen. Even many 16:9 TVs will cut off the first letter.

Does the newly refurbished Radio York building have a down the line studio like the one at Radio Sheffield and the one at the museum in Bradford? They never seemed to have one previously.

Due to the football season having finished, the BBC local radio stations are running their 'Summer Saturday' afternoon programmes which is a usual mix of music & speech.
This also means they have to provide a travel news service on Saturday afternoons.
David James was doing BBC Sheffield which I've never heard him do before, and even more unusual he was also doing BBC Lancashire as well, although using his Dave Llewellyn indentity on there. I've never heard him on one of the north west stations before.
He still spoke like he knew what he was talking about, unlike some travel presenters who often sound robotic like they haven't been within 100 miles of the incident they are describing, even if it is within their usual patch.

Bet he had to think who he was & which station he was on?

It's always weird driving through North Yorkshire listening to a network station hearing Dave Llewellyn on BBC Tees and then David James on Radio York a little later.
I remember hearing James Watt when he was doing shifts at both stations and he cocked it up and introduced him as Dave L on Radio York

It's weird on my morning commute hearing him finish on Radio York and start on Radio Leeds often with only a few seconds of Moyles in between.

He also had to remember what the travelline/jamdodger line numbers were as well.
It's odd how the stations he usually does all have the same number but every other BBC station in the north have separate travel hotline numbers generally with local dialing codes rather than freephone. It must be a historical reason.

Having local numbers makes sense as most callers are on mobiles and calling a geographic number comes out of free minutes but an 0800 costs you to call it.
