According to the report just now on Look North , the new region seems like it will be a separate as LDN & South East Today are!

Greg Dyke was good, '...Thats why we're investing in Yorkshire, and umm...err... in Lincolnshire'

Suspect - reading the release - that the Hull digital bit will allow individual users access to Look North (Hull) packages, and may include the links as well 24/7 on request. A kind of video on demand.

Having seen the KiT trial actually working (one of the few before it was live) ... I can tell you it really is very very impressive. �There's lots of Look North Video on demand ... lots of locally produced content ... and more to come. �Some of the stuff coming up is very very impressive.

Quote:

The release mentions a new home for Radio Humberside but not for Look North (Hull), so I suspect this will remain as Leeds gallery/Hull studio (though may get a more spacious studio?) �

Not sure about this ... but Radio Humbs are moving.

So if the new Hull centre costs �25 million, how much did the Tunbridge Wells one cost?

Do Hull get a sat-truck as well? (and how much is one of those these days)

Nope - as Asa and I have already decided, it will be called 'HLL' or 'ULL' or some variant of that.

Coming soon to a screen near you.....

I don't want to think about it at the moment. I have been quite upset this afternoon, and I genuinely have cried. Is Look North (Leeds) available to view on digital? Will there still be a way for me to keep seeing Paul and all the other presenters I have grown to love so much over the many years I have been watching?

Are you serious.... you cried just because your regional news programme is changing in a few years time!??!

For gods sake, pull yourself together woman!!!
