Not often i post in this thread, but with ITV reducing the amount of regional programmes this year what will happen to YTV's Jobfinder, which I understand is still shown at about 5am in the Yorkshire region.

It doesn't count as part of the regional quotas, but this is what the ITV Yorkshire programme statement says:
"The 30 second community service announcements will cease as we work further to include minority views and stories within our main
programming output. We are currently assessing whether we will be able to continue the Jobfinder service"

Anyone got any ideas what's happened to Hannah Moffatt who was doing the Breakfast bullitins for Look North East last time I checked - I've not seen her for weeks, is she on holiday or has she 'vanished'? I'm never in the area at that time in a morning to figure out what's happening.

And Katherine, have you written to Peter Levy to correct him on Friday nights mistake, when he read out that his doodle has sold for 99p? If you want to bid for all for of them, it's going to get rather expensive for you isn't it?

Well the pre-Morning News programme is an odd one isn't it - there seem to be about five different shows just repeated on a weekly basis. Obviously I don't get up to watch them - but I'm one of those lucky people that's up at that time of the morning at work!

Why doesnt it count towards the quotas? It's a programme for people in the Yorkshire region isnt it? Why is YTV the only region to have their own Jobfinder? Other regions stopped showing it years ago.

It's very cheap to produce, in fact maybe the Employment Service funds it?.
There's a quick introduction from Nicola Crompton on a soft set followed by 25 minutes of jobs shown on powerpoint style slides followed by 5 minutes where Nicola and a guest talk about how to get into a particular job. The latter are repeated many times

Yep - e-mail is in his inbox, don't know if he's read it yet....

I can't make my mind up which doodle to bid for actually!! I am saving up for two things at present too - a bike and a new aerial for my bedroom television....
