We still have the monthly regional political programmes such as Central Lobby. The last one was on 12 July.

The name of Tyne Tees & Border's monthly political programme is "Around The House", isn't it?

I assume this derives from Border's "Look around " brand, given the first word? (I also assume that in the days of a Border-only programme, it has long-since been called this? In which case, what was Tyne Tees' own show traditionally called?)

ITV used to have tons of regions.

It still does... just news.


Some non-news regional programming still exists on ITV Wales and UTV. I'm sure STV still does some too.

Oops, oversimplified that response. But yep

Around the House was Tyne Tees’ political programme pre-2009. When Tyne Tees & Border merged, Around the House continued but included Border too - I believe the programme is still shared with Border even though all news programme are fully separate for Tyne Tees and Border (with one of the bulletins pre-recorded beforehand)

Shocked Given the obvious "(Look)Around" link, I'm surprised that it's the old TT title, not Border's. I'd assumed TT would've traditionally used a name that mentioned TT or North East. What was Border's programme called, pre-TT&B merger?

Apparently there is a sub opt called Representing Border that only goes out in Scotland, covering the Scottish Parliament.

Or the person running That's Hampshire was sick today and there was no one to make the programme.


Nothing would surprise me ! There was a nasty bus crash here today, I was tuning in to see if That’s had managed to report on it, clearly not


Unless there was a press release before hand.


How very 1970s ! Just shows how obsolete these set ups are. I heard about it from my colleagues at work who had heard via social media just an hour or two after the event. Anyway, BBC South Today, top story at 22:30 and a good comprehensive report.

By the way, as of 06:30hrs today, we are still receiving That’s York

That likely to be a Comux routing issue, or has somebody at ThatsTV scheduled the playout of the wrong city's news on that particular channel?


So hard to tell !! There are no local ads I've ever seen on any local TV channel, that would help
work out where the problem is.

It took me a while to realise I was even watching the York version, I just assumed they were
referring to something in Portsmouth/Southampton/Salisbury/Guildford or Oxford !

Britain's first national local station?
Reminds me of Radio Active!
