Look North Hull have a "car sticker slogans" competition, with a prize of a tour of BBC Hull and a bottle of champagne...

I don't know if I should enter - I've been there twice before, it would seem like a fix if my slogan won, and I don't like alcohol! However, my parents are keen on the stuff and hope I enter as they'll get free bubbly in the process!

I'd rather lose the region than have a single presenter, I agree that it just doesn't look or feel right. I KNOW the news hasn't chnaged, but I'm not enjoying watching it any more! I find the show dry as dust with only Peter, it's the ladies that have the personalily round here, and that's not a sexist comment, just in this case, in my opinion, Peter is serious so the ladies make it 'interesting' rather than just news.
You are joking aren't you?
All that has happened is one person now reads the links and does studio interviews and down-the-lines rather than two. They haven't axed half the reporting team as well...
Single vs Double-heading styles come and go. There are a couple of other single-headed regions (London, Manchester, Newcastle?) - and many others have been single-headed in the past (Norwich, Tunbridge Wells etc.)
The BBC One and Ten, and the ITV 1230 and 2230 are also single-headed - it is only a presentation change.
It may feel different now - but like most things, people get used to them... And once people get used to them they change them again!

noggin, I'm not joking. I know my reaction is... over-reaction, but I always enjoyed the jokey interludes in our news, it's what kept me tuned in to the serious bits, so maybe its my viewing habbits that are at fault? I have a short attention span. I need a newsreader to keep my attention. Peter's flat monotone doesnt do that for me. Or maybe its the fact that my work brings me into regular contact with the newsreaders, and I'll really miss Helen? BUT I'm pretty sure it's the NEWS that i've a problem with rather than my job!

Yes that bottom rung can't be too far away now can it. I can't wait to hear your replies when/if Paul Hudson moves to YTV. Try thisissheffield.net for information.
I can hear your torrential saliva dripping from here, mate! I am in a good mood tonight as it's snowing and I can't be bothered to engage in verbal warfare with you.
Suffice to say I am resigned for the worst and buoyant at present. Sorry if that rains or indeed snows on your parade a bit....
I just tried your link, but I got an 'under construction' message. Thinking you might have your endings wrong I tried .co.uk and .com too but both of those returned 'the Page Cannot Be Displayed'.
No, i'm afraid i'm not salivating as my life has some meaning other than this forum. It snows here as well you know (Scotland's like that you know!).
The link does work but re-directs you to 'Sheffield Today', the Star's web page intent on selling you advertising and naff t-shirts.
Prehaps you elude that Paul Hudson means anything to anyone other than his family and yourself. He is hardly a celebrity, and only appears on TV for approx. 6 minutes per day.

I'm hoping to visit the museum next time I stay with my brother and sister-in-law (who live in Morley). Maybe I'll get a few more contacts who will help me on my way up the career ladder!

Anyone that has ever been in a shop where he is doing a booksigning would believe that locally he is a celeb...

Yes, and the stackloads of people that turned out to his Extreme Weather DVD signing in Doncaster last November would agree with that too!
