Thanks. Never heard of that before

The rather awful Kate Sweeting on duty for LN Hull today. Interesting outfit from Keeley with the weather - her dress merges with her skin tone and the cloudy map - so left with two black stripes that cover her dignity at first glance!!

Anyone know what happened to Angela Davies, one time Sports Reporter for Look North and also for one of the breakfast shows (can't remember if it was BBC or GMTV)?

Looks like autocue problems in Leeds, Keeley's reading the lunchtime bulletin from paper, with the camera much tighter than usual to attempt to hide this fact.

Keeley Donovan may be very easy on the eye, but she is a dreadful presenter. She's doing Look North at the moment and it looks like she's having trouble with the autocue because she's reading from her script. Stick to weather Keeley (mind you, you're not that good at that either)

Analogue just went off air. Digital channels blank for now as well. Belmont transmitter.

John Shires with today's Calendar News. You can tell it's Summer, I haven't seen him read a weekend bulletin in years.

Calendar's report on Digital Switchover at Emley was a triumph of wrong and incomplete information. Amazingly all of it coming from Digital UK's regional manager rather than a misinformed journo (or weatherman)

http://www.itv.com/yorkshire/digital-switchover86520/

The interviewee's claim that for the next fortnight BBC2 is the only digital channel people using a relay will receive is absolute tosh - it will be the full BBC A multiplex.

They also neglected to mention that YTV analogue from Emley and most of its relays moves to the BBC2 button when the relay comes back up tomorrow http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/transmitternetwork/transmitter_groups/emley_moor

The Digital Roadshows were also stating that only BBC 2 was moving first to digital and the remainder would move on the 21st. Not such a big deal, but I'm curious to know how this mis-information happened.
It just makes radio and tv reports look wrong.

She's made national BBC1 now, doing the National Lottery Midweek Draws.
