Paul Mooney with the weather today, one of those rare bank holiday arrangements where Newcastle provide the weather for Leeds/Hull.

Paul Mooney with the weather today, one of those rare bank holiday arrangements where Newcastle provide the weather for Leeds/Hull.

Given how they have one of the largest studios and offices of an English Region, it seems strange that they don't have a CSO studio to do recorded forecasts in. Instead, at least in Hull, the weather came from the washed-out screen in the main Newcastle studio. Then again Leeds usually cover the recorded forecasts that Newcastle gets.

Leeds is a weather hub though so that is normal, Newcastle aren't but seem to have an arrangement to do all 3 Look North weathers on some bank holidays or on a random day around Christmas.

The one thing about the election for Look North Hull - Tim Iredale looking smug throughout.

Nope, gone years ago.

Don't quote me on this but I think Made In Teesside are at Belasis so might be the same building.

I don't know if this is a permanent situation but it looks like Keeley Donovan has replaced Lara as main host of Look North for 2 days a week, but at the start of the week rather than at the end. Keeley's weather duties at the end of the week seems to have mostly been taken over by Owain Wyn Evans

How long's Yvette Cooper MP been presenting Calendar?

Only joking, but unusually the national BBC News report today on social media companies featured an interview where she was sat in the presenters chair in the Calendar studio. ITV used a different interview.
