That's another issue surely from the merger too - with the focus on stories of international significance will be far fewer opportunities for regional reporters to get their stories on to the channel.

Listening to my local station this morning, the breakfast presenter said "back tomorrow at 6am" and the 10am presenter has done a full menu of the show including what's coming up at 1230 today.
Let's see what happens at 11am through to tomorrow 11am!

I see the regional tv bulletins have all been cancelled today, which I'm a bit surprised by. Is it most staff in regions who are on strike today, or simply that those in other teams won't cross picket lines?

It’s anyone in the NUJ who works at a regional base
The original press release did say that regional TV would be effected but everyone seems to have missed it

The late bulletin is still in the schedule.
I guess if a region can get a programme together there's nothing to stop them going ahead?

On as normal:
"Programming in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is not affected."

Interesting re Gayle Lofthouse, I thought the convention was that you start a shift you finish it, so she would do today but not tomorrow.

Thanks Andrew - yes, I completely missed that fact but makes sense!

Listening around, most of the regular presenters disappeared at 11am.
Plenty of pointed choices made in those final few minutes on Radio Leeds - whether appropriate will depend on your point of view I suspect...!
