I may be misremembering, but I think it was Harry *or* Christa on that Radio Leeds show rather than both together.

Calendar just did a 5 minute infomercial for a new drama tonight. That had no connection to the region whatsoever. It was even filmed in East Sussex.

And tonight on Look North with Uncle Pete - a live studio interview with an irate holidaymaker.

Who was from Hull.

He was irate because his holiday got cancelled - plane got half way to the destination, forced to go back to Manchester.

Looks like Look North’s (Yorkshire) sofa challenge has been cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. A real reason wasn’t given and the presenters didn’t look happy at the end of tonight’s program. I wonder what the actual explanation is...?

According to the Sheffield Telegraph, it's because "staff are needed to cover the coronavirus outbreak".

The way they read a statement rather than just announcing it themselves sounds to me that the decision was made by BBC bosses who over ruled the programme and they didn’t agree with it.

The way Harry read the statement was so ridiculously grave, you need to watch it on the iPlayer. It was as if someone had died, even at the end after the weather you could tell he was raging.

Extremely odd. Harry stating a statement from the BBC. They are the BBC! Surely some transparency would be nice?!
