The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

Is the late Calendar bulletin broadcast live, or is it recorded? The reason I ask is that the time on the clock on Leeds Town Hall in the backdrop, didn't show the correct time.

Well one of the bulletins has to be recorded doesn't it because of a west and east version of the program. The presenter can't present two bulletins at once so one of them is recorded and one is live.

I think tonight's west (Leeds) was recorded at 9.25pm then

I thought they had to be recorded pretty much immediately before broadcast.

Maybe so, but unless my eyes were deceiving me tonight, the clock behind Christine read 9.25pm

You're assuming the backdrop is live - what if it's a recording too?

Jon has mentioned on Twitter the dodgy lighting, so they must be aware of it.

Meanwhile he apparently did the weather on ITV Cymru Wales today, filling in for the usual forecaster.

He did, and I happened to catch him doing it. Nice to see a familiar friendly face from back home while in Wales

Indeed. He says they're looking into it.

Which makes this slightly awkward

They turn the studio around to have a backdrop of the newsroom when it's dark during the winter.

I think the point being made was that the newsroom view is just as 'real' as the view out of the window!
