They always mention the cricket on Calendar, it's usually done in that pan-region bit right at the end so the score can be bang up to date

On another note, yesterdays Leeds lunchtime bulletin was both double headed and on location - very rare to see either of those on a regional lunchtime bulletin.

Look North didn't air as usual on Saturday just gone, due to a 'technical problem'

Viewers across both regions watched the Hull edition hosted by Kate Sweeting.

I had a wander around Sheffield last night to discover another piece of regional television history had been demolished. The former YTV newsroom and studio on Charter square has now been completely demolished. I know its some years since YTV occupied the building - the days when Alan Hardwick used to present from the broom cupboard studio there so sad to see it finally go to dust.

Since when has Newark been in the Calendar region? They've just shown a package about the sewage system in the town.

Considering Newark borders Lincolnshire and is also covered by Lincs FM, it wouldn't be a surprise for some aerials in the town pointing to Belmont.

I'm sure many aerials in Lincoln and on the ridge point towards Waltham but Nottingham Today and Birmingham Tonight don't bother with the area any more.

The weather on tonight's Belmont Look North was shown pre-recorded at the end of the programme, instead of the usual middle of the programme. Never seen them do that before.

Tonight they cut the viewer photograph off too early as Peter was waffling on too much then Owain had to do the entire weather forecast with just the next few days summary slide up as his graphics machine crashed!
