I think I'm right in saying that Yorkshire Television's transmission area used to be more squarely focused on Yorkshire itself, as it originally broadcast on the Bilsdale transmitter which covers North Yorkshire, and not on Belmont. When Bilsdale switched to Tyne Tees, Yorkshire started broadcasting on Belmont (instead of Anglia) giving them a lot more coverage across non-Yorkshire counties, but I imagine they wanted to keep the name despite this.


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"


Just found this at www.itw.org.uk...

Quote:
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.

Harry Gration has now taken over at the lunchtime helm on Emley Look North. It seems like Helen Fospero has downsized her Belmont lunchtime appearances - Peter Levy now does most of them...

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".

I actually think they should really present the short bulletins from that fantastic newsroom backdrop, I like it, reminds me of the olden days.

see with Granada's i would guess the new set is being built behind the old one due to all these closer shots. I wonder if they will use the CSO tomorrow at 6pm, i know they did last time with Ann O'conner and a blue backdrop but if they are building it behind there maybe no need.

Biased, and from a person who so dislikes Calendar that they would gladly die for the BBC. Now what was I saying about her needing a slap!
