What recent increase in sharing is there between Radio's Humberside and Lincolnshire? And of course from next week there is 5 hours per week less sharing

Radio Humberside has some major changes next week. Andy Comfort moves from breakfast to a 4-6pm slot, while 5pm 'Newshour' host Lizzie Rose moves to breakfast alongside Carl Wheatley. Phil White moves from 2-5pm to 1-4pm


...and Mr Levy for one hour only - lets open this one up to our viewers tweet now - strong words there


Careful young man! Think of the mortgage...

Failure of Calendar's late programme tonight, Stuck on a still of a map and you could hear Christine Talbot asking if they could put something up and then Granada, which we then crashed into

Anyone else see that? Calendar frozen on a graphic in the late bulletin, with Christine talking to (I assume) the gallery, saying something like "can we go to Granada? We can't put anything up on-screen, can we?". Picture cut quickly to Granada Reports.

Wonder what's going on?

EDIT: ooops, beat me to it, Richard! Laughing

Late Calendar East update (assume the recorded one) not gone to plan - straight to a slide of map of Catterick Garrison but music and Christine reading main story as if there was no problem. Cut to Granada Reports at start of second story.

Was it same for CalendarWest/North?

>and you both beat me to it! That said it sounds that I saw the different update to you two

Even though Look North have many weather forecasters, all weekend they've had to use Elizabeth Rizzini from the London weather hub.

Did she use a map? Because last weekend the london weather hub gave Look East a presenter who did not use a map, just key points, different to the normal places as well!

Yes, the usual map was used.

From Twitter, it appears that Kay and Keeley have both been on holiday, Lisa is on maternity leave so that just leaves Paul and Jen Bartram, so maybe not as fully staffed as you might think.

They've been down on presenters this week - Lisa's now on maternity and Keeley/Kay on holiday. That leaves Paul and Jennifer Bartram who were on in the week!

EDIT: Doh, just seen the post above.

One map for today's weather and then 2 lists of places for tomorrow's weather. List of places that nobody at Look North ever uses.

Split weather forecasts for the Calendar region - not done before?

They also have a new background on the screen behind them tonight, looked like a newsroom with an itv news logo near the top left but I only saw it for a few seconds at the end of the programme

Christine and Duncan both turned round to look at it at the end too

First half of the programme had a new view, I think it was Leeds, then it went to a generic newsroom style view from the sport onwards.

Are the trialling the longer split programme?
