Lunchtime Look North was all FA Cup Final+Weather. Other news not even given 30 seconds. While the Cup Final is obviously going to be dominating proceedings, I don't think it is justifiable to totally ignore other news as well

Out of interest, was the Murdered Schoolteacher funeral the top story for Calendar South and has this story been covered comprehensively most nights over the last few weeks? Whereas presumably it hasn't been covered at all on Look North Hull as it isn't in their region?

Think main Look North was as well. Awful. Even a two minute round up would have been acceptable

A two min roundup would not have justified Peeta Ego stood outside Wembley with a handful of carefully positioned fans. What is interesting is the total lack of coverage from the main news bulletins. They are only interested when its a doom and gloom story from the north. In the unlikely event that Hull FC do win the cup, I wonder expect they will find something negative to poo poo the area..

Levy's radio show to finish.





I've heard it's because of something bigger, but I've not yet been able to get a second source on the details, it was a bit ago too.

I assume he will take on late Look North instead.

Jen Bartram has now left the BBC, her last forecast was a couple of days ago.

Lisa isn't back until August so expect some cover faces on Breakfast and at weekends every now and then probably

I don't see why as they have three weather presenters with 2 shifts per day, so there should always be someone available. with Keeley and Kay doing earlies and Paul doing the pm shift and one of the females doing cover on that when he's off. At weekends, there's only one update now on Saturday, so that should be easy to cover too.

They still have to work probably at least 6 hours at weekends doing the weather for the regional news and local radio, across the whole north weather hub area, So it won't be a case of just popping in for 10 minutes.

According to Keeley on Twitter, Kawser Quamer is going to be covering for a couple of months.

Wasn't there talk a few months ago about there being a regional news update late on Sunday?
