I'm not surprised.
Hull is essentially just a sub-region. It has only ever had a seperate Look North (and no longer even that, in the case of weekday breakfast bulletins). As well as Hull never having had seperate non-news programmes like Inside Out etc, the Hull operation doesn't have many of the trappings of a fully-fledged region (e.g. its own weather presenters). I also believe that there is only one "Head of Region" person (presumably primarily based in Leeds) for the entire original pan-region nowadays (although I think that the Hull operation did have its own seperate such head honcho at one stage).
Given that all of this means that Leeds & Hull are essentially two sides of the same coin, rather than fully seperate regions as such, it seems inherently logical that they would be paired-up when it comes to the current set upgrade rollout.
