[Steve in Pudsey]

From www.bbceng.info 

To improve the BBC's profile in Bradford, a city of half a million people, a bi-media bureau has been created in prestigious accommodation in City Hall. As well as office accommodation, equipped with on-line ENS terminals and PABX connection to Leeds all via a Kilostream link, the bureau has a radio studio capable of supporting sequence programmes and a fully equipped preparation area. The bureau is the base for a small team of Radio Leeds staff, the community affairs correspondent, and ethnic programming.

A bi-media bureau without any apparent TV facilities...

I'm not sure that it's a coincidence that the current Managing Editor is Sanjiv Buttoo, who used to be the community affairs correspondent and presenter of some of the ethnic programming that came out of the Bradford studio. Not long after his appointment Radio Leeds opened a new Bradford office, which I assume has now gone again.

Back to Calendar, and there's chapter and verse from the horse's mouth in a 2007 TVF thread

The Sheffield office therefore supplies stories for both programmes. Calendar also has newsrooms/offices in Bradford, Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln and York and a team of staff also work from home in various parts of the region.

The East Riding is covered by the ‘South’ programme.
