Are Look North (Leeds) having some graphics problems? They had a couple of BBC Sport style captions tonight that appear to have been mocked up, with flat colours rather than the textures these graphics normally have.

I assumed this was just for their "what if Yorkshire was listed in the medal table" which wasn't an official graphic so you could understand it not being quite right, but the 10.25 had a cricket score in the same format.

Has their viz packed up? (I think they have one!)

They don't have one, they hire one for the Super League Show, it's an Aston I think!

Ta. They do usually have proper BBC Sport graphics on LN. Saying that what they used instead wasn't in any way a bad bit of graphic design - it was certainly produced by somebody who knows what they are doing, it just wasn't quite the usual style.

Oooh, Dickie Bird is on Look North (Leeds) tonight.

Must have been the first time since, er, a few days ago? Smile

Think it was Siobhan Robbins last day on Look North - going on attachment to the News Channel.

Getting a bit thin on the ground in Hull it seems, with most non-Levy bulletins being presented by Amy Cole (from Spotlight) and the only man that can make Peter Levy look butch - Edward Sault (from CI)

Is Caroline Bilton on maternity or has she left? Haven't seen her for months

Just the one bronze on Look North Hull weather map - but another silver or gold to add tomorrow night.

To answer my own query earlier - I see Caroline Bilton is on maternity after having baby in February - well that is according to Twitter so must be true

Look North in Leeds are still using a dodgy knock-off of the BBC Sport graphics

I'm sure they used to have the proper BBC Sport graphics

They've been using that for months now. They must surely have the proper graphics for when they do Late Kick Off and the Super League Show?

These two posts explain the rip-off graphics.

No, not really. Because they should have static versions of the BBC Sport style captions, no?
