RE: BBC/ITV Yorkshire News - Yorksman - 31-03-2023

Very rare that Tom Ingall presented the main bulletin, I think only the second time ever IIRC.

Has Clare Frisby ever hosted the 6.30 Look North since she was replaced by Old Ma Ackroyd?

I think Tom did the 6.30 a few times while Harry was down south?

I think you're right about Clare, although she did appear live on the Harry tribute

I don't she has presented the 6.30 bulletin since 2001, however I do remember her presenting a late bulletin one Easter Monday (can't remember the year).

Did Christa ever co-present with Peter Levy in the final year before Look North (Hull) got bulletin of it’s own?

It comes across like Amy Garcia is the 6:30 presenter, everyone else who hosts is ‘acting up’ even if they present the 6:30 most weeks

Yes, I think they did.

I am sure there were several occasions they presented together. I remember Peter presenting the breakfast bulletins, lunchtime and the main edition with Christa on one occasion.

Aside from the ins and outs of the action, this has slightly confused me too - as a staff SBJ/Senior Presenter - my expectation would be they would present where asked/told, so I’m a bit surprised they can work to rule in this way as I’m not sure contracts would include specified presenters for specified bulletins.

Of course, on the flip side - and thinking out loud, I wonder if it IS the case now (and perhaps as a result to the move to single heading / getting people to reapply for that role) that there is a contracted 6.30 presenter and that’s what is causing them issues now!

I think after Harry's departure and the move to single heading, Amy was described as Lead Presenter, but I'm not sure if that was descriptive or contractual.
