Nice to know where BBC Sheffield's allegiance lies - ITV News clearly visible on the monitor on the background during a live on Look North! Wink Normally the BBC News Channel.

As mentioned elsewhere, Leeds region got Look North Hull at least at 7:55am this morning.

A rare occurance as usually in these situations it's the opposite way round.

They did put one piece of WY travel news on but the rest of the bulletin was purely East Yorks & Lincs stuff.

I regularly sat near the BBC commentary team at a local football club who refused to use BBC Online for sports scores on their laptops and used the Sky Sportscentre instead.

While I think BBC North West got BBC Leeds on Freeview... all the routing went a bit er wonky!

Which was then seen at the end where we went from reporter to Christa ending the show straight to BBC1 ident in no more than 2 seconds!

That was odd wasn't it! It's almost as if they didn't know they were finishing a little earlier for the election broadcast.

Christa still out at Halifax for the late bulletin, in the rain. Can't imagine she and the other people there had a pleasant evening, although of course the story itself isn't pleasant either.
