As far as I know, other ITV plc regions still have newsrooms in locations other than their studio base.
For example... Meridian still has newsrooms in Didcot and Maidstone (AFAIK), despite all iterations of the news being presented variously live or pre-recorded from Whiteley (near Fareham). Similarly, newsrooms in Carlisle/Nottingham/Plymouth despite the respective programmes being presented from Gateshead/Birmingham/Bristol.
I therefore would've thought that ITV Yorkshire/Calender would still have at least one non-Leeds newsroom somewhere?
I know that once-upon-a-time ITV regions would have had additional very small newsrooms that were never studio sites (e.g. Westcountry Television ones in the likes of Barnstaple/Exeter/Truro/Weymouth, an Anglia one in Northampton, etc etc). YTV surely must've had similar minor sites at one time (e.g. Lincoln, maybe?)
I get that these sorts of really minor offices are long-since redundant and gone nowadays, but I struggle to believe that the *only* facility of any kind for Calendar is the Leeds HQ.
