They do say 'Yorkshire' a lot more than they used to do lately.
The reason why they say ITV1 also, is that they do a lot of cross-promoting ITV2 and ITV Sport Channel, so saying ITV1 sounds better!
Plus the phrase 'And now the news, from the region' is practically extinct now, About 95% of announcements before regional programmes are regionalised!

What I dont understand is that why do Anglia/Meridian/LWT announcers say `now on Meridian` etc whilst Leeds announcers say `now on ITV1`they are all Granada companies so its obviously not Granada`s policy to say ITV1 otherwise Southampton would also adopt this policy. Leeds has the technology to use regional continuity it cost a fortune apparently so why is it not used???
