History
Look North's Hull-based programme began in November 2002, presented by Helen Fospero (née Morton) and Peter Levy. The programme was presented from a tiny studio built in the existing BBC building in Chapel Street and directed from a technical gallery at Leeds. The programme's first editor was Roger Farrant.
Before 11 November 2002, this region was part of a BBC North region, served by Look North from Leeds with short six minute opt-outs for the area (introduced during 2001) during the main evening programme at 6:30pm and the BBC Ten O' Clock News.
The November 2002 changes saw the opt extended to become a full half-hour programme at 6:30pm, with the 10:25pm opt-out remaining unchanged. Daytime and weekend bulletins were carried from Leeds.
In 2004, Look North, along with the radio station Radio Humberside and the Online/Interactive Project moved to new studios and offices in Queen's Gardens. Within a short time of going live from the new studios, dedicated daytime and weekend bulletins for the region were introduced, replacing the previous arrangement of carrying such bulletins from Leeds.
