Keeley Donovan often presents the weekend bulletins single handed, news and weather. Given that I'm sure she could cope with the 'promotion'. She's certainly more competent than any of the female presenters on Calendar (aside from Christine Talbot or Gaynor Barnes), who are shockingly poor, especially on the early morning bulletins during DaybreakTo be fair though, Look North hasn't been the same since they got rid of Khalid Aziz and Judith Stamper... Blimey Ravey that's going back a year or two! Remember Brian Baines as well (he always reminded me of Christopher Lee).And I didn't realise that Keeley does any "proper" presenting. For my sins we get Look North from Hull (yes we're stuck with Peter Levy). The Weather Girls are only seen on our screens when Paul Hudson is on one of his many holidays.

If you have Sky TV (or Freesat, possibly), all the BBC Regions Inc Scotland and Wales, are on there, hidden away in the high numbered channels.I mentioned Khalid Aziz as I recall he left rapidly and it was rumoured to be something to do with money at the time (I think - it was a long time ago!).Judith Stamper of course left to become a lecturer in the media at Trinity College at Horsforth .

To be fair they still don't cover the sub region variations. There are two Yorkshire versions of look north.It is also possible to get all the ITV regions but you need to add them as "other channles"

Both channels are inadequate for news about Leeds. IMO

The Weather Girls are only seen on our screens when Paul Hudson is on one of his many holidays. That's the same in Leeds. We get Keely and Lisa Gallagher on Look North when Paul Hudson is off. I was staying overnight on Tyneside the other week and Paul Hudson does their weather too. He must be a busy boy! The other week when the Beeb journos were on strike we got Peter Levy too - he must be non union!

Not bad money for reading a teleprompter! The new lass is only getting £40,000! Apparently Ms Ackroyd has had £50,000 while she's been off.
