Sounds like Ian White is to take over from Duncan Wood as the lead presenter of Calendar, reuniting with Lara.
(Couldn’t find an existing relevant thread so hope this is okay to start new one!)

I did not see that coming! Have you got a source for that?

Lots of colleagues talking about it publicly but I don’t think it’s been officially announced:

Not been announced yet but I definitely didn't see that coming
He seemed the sort to be on Look North forever
By the way does Peter Levy ever take any time off, i'm sure he's been in that bottom right corner on the 'my colleagues in the nations and regions' wall every week since it launched

You could say the same of Christa at Calendar.
It does sound plausible. With the BBC moving to single headed presentation you could certainly speculate that the opportunities to progress to a full time gig on the sofa look limited for the foreseeable future so an opportunity at Kirkstall Road could well have been attractive.

No, Peter’s on so often that it even makes the local rag when he takes some time off.

Agree with Ian being a surprising appointment too. Definitely a strong choice though, if true. Calendar is certainly in need of some familiar faces with all five of their main faces leaving in the last year or two. Has felt quite soulless recently, so hopefully he can liven it up a little bit.

I mean it’s definitely true, believe me
For someone taken off the late bulletins and told he’d not present again, quite the journey.

Does anyone know when look north is changing its background I think it was mentioned that all regions would get a background change?

Was he always late news presenter all those years or did he do the main 6:30 programme?
