The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

you not notice the soft red edges?

Not sure about Bilsdale, but I know in the VHF era the Authority announcement in the startup routine was "Emley Moor and Scarborough transmitters of the ITA"

The 1967 round had largely considered the shape of regions based on the regions defined by the VHF frequencies. However, the whole east of England posed an interesting problem. Three main UHF transmitters could cover everywhere from King's Lynn to north of Middlesborough, but didn't naturally form the same areas as the equivalent VHF ones. In particular for Tyne Tees the original allocation of Bilsdale in North Yorkshire to Yorkshire meant that many people in the "Tees" part of the region were no longer covered by them. Yorkshire had a similar problem in that much of East Yorkshire was now beyond the reach of Emley Moor, and were getting Anglia instead. A grand plan was negotiated to merge Tyne Tees, Yorkshire and Anglia into one television company, and the name `Trident Television' was coined, with each existing company one `prong' of the new one. A transmitter swap, with Bilsdale moving to Tyne Tees and Belmont to Yorkshire was agreed.

Any1 get any caps of the calendar set being built from todays show??

Nice to see Yorkshire's Theatre of News is coming along, though it looks like the big screen is waiting to be inserted.

Shame Granada have done the same for us, all we've been promised, is a "new look".
