lidz Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I intend on sending at least one complaint each day about the previous days programme. You never know they may get so sick of me they offer me a job as correspondent for South Yorkshire. I've got more personality and would look better than Christa Ackroyd anyway.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi, Just had a few minutes to spare and so sent Look North an e-mail with a little grumble and have pointedly asked for a reply so we'll have to wait and see what happens. The SF is a better source of local news than the 'news' program Look North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToryCynic Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 "Is Crosspool a transmiter or a relay?" Relay of Emley Moor broadcasting the southern output of Calendar - Emley Moor itself has Calandar West, Belmont covers Lincolnshire and the East Riding (Calandar East), and North Yorkshire's main provider is Tyne Tees. There are three versions of BBC North (similar to YTV's three sub-regions) - they are: - BBC North - North East & Cumbria (ITV equiv. : Tyne Tees) - BBC North - East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (ITV equiv. : Cent/Yorks [East].) - BBC North - West/South Yorkshire.

Hels Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The other day I noted down the location of each news story on Look North. Here are the results: Leeds Thorne (Doncaster) West Bretton (Huddersfield) Dewsbury Wakefield Bradford/Wakefield Bradford Leyburn (North Yorkshire) Bingley That was just a one-off, but it doesn't strike me as Leeds centric - or am I missing something? I suppose when they are presenting 'the news' then it will depend where the news stories emerge as to the locations mentioned and this will vary day by day. You will probably find people in Leeds think Look North is Sheffield centric...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Look North reporters too lazy to drive down the M1 or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hels Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 No they are not all North Yorkshire! The majority are West Yorkshire and some are South Yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ignoring Doncaster (as most Sheffielders do): Leeds West Bretton (Huddersfield) Dewsbury Wakefield Bradford/Wakefield Bradford Leyburn (North Yorkshire) Bingley Leeds / Bradford / Wakefield / Hudderfield are practically one and the same. Dewsbury & Bingley? How on earth did they make the news It's laziness on the part of Look North reporters It should be renamed 'Look, North Yorkshire' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hels Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Oh Abdul, hun! You could upset so many people! Wakefield is a city in its own right, so is Leeds, so is Bradford. Huddersfield is fiercely independent and Dewsbury (well, what can we say about Dewsbury)? But no, you can't just lump them all together, they are as independant from Leeds as much as (if not more so) than Sheffield is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidz Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hels You are seriously missing the point! The fact of the matter is Look North should be depicting are fair and unbiased view on the whole of Yorkshire. Unfortunately they seem to forget that South Yorkshire exists. Yet again last night little to no mention of anywhere in South Yorks, although they will claim the reason is tonights episode will be focusing on Michael Vaughan and his tribute in Sheffield. Did anyone notice though how Harry had to make the point that Michael was not born in Sheffield, heaven forbid a great sportman comes from somewhere other than Leeds or Bradford! I seriously am considering applying for a job as Christa's replacement, never have I seen such a bland person on television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
