Old discussion[edit]

Homes in southern areas of North Yorkshire such as York, Selby and Harrogate tend to have their aerials directed at Emley Moor, meaning they receive the Leeds Look North.

Is this true? At a cursory glance, homes in Harrogate seem to have their aerials pointed north east towards (I would guess) Bilsdale, meaning they would get the Newcastle Look North. I've seen a few aerials facing Emley Moor but these seem to be in the minority. I'm not sure which of the two transmitters provides the best reception quality in Harrogate but I guess that might be a factor for some viewers.

It would be interesting if most York viewers get the Leeds show, as I thought the Newcastle show "officially" covered York. Which BBC region are York's Sky TV viewers allocated? 217.155.20.163 (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most people in York watch Leeds, but York is covered by both regions. Shouldn't the information about coverage be moved to the BBC Yorkshire page? Look North is just one of many regional programmes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.39.136.92 (talk) 18:39, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All the information about people watching North West Tonight and Look North (Newcastle) and where their antenna is pointing and which relay they may be receiving their TV signal from is irrelevant to the topic of the actual program Look North (Leeds) and its editorial content. Surely all the statements making pronouncements about most homes and the direction of their antennas comes under "original research" which is supposed to be banned from Wikipeda articles. 107.183.29.213 (talk) 07:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She is still definitely on Look North. 51kwad (talk) 13:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move: (BBC Look North (Yorkshire and North Midlands) → BBC Look North (Yorkshire and the North Midlands))[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 23:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Look North (Yorkshire and North Midlands) → BBC Look North (Yorkshire and the North Midlands) – A more grammatically-correct name, reflected by the disparity of numbers (412,000, in contrast to 62,400), in the same way as the name "Yorkshire and the Humber" (5,500,000) is more correct than the name of simply "Yorkshire and Humber" (771,000).

Oppose. As titles are not sentences, grammar doesn't come into it. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 04:25, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With all due and the greatest possible respect, but says who? In the Far East, or in England? The names "Midlands" and "Humber", except when being the opening word or part thereof, have almost always without much exception preceded in England and in the English language by the article. --- 212.50.182.151 (talk) 07:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the programme's home page [1] and Facebook page [2] don't seem to mention North Midlands at all, they just call it BBC Look North (Yorkshire). Is there a reason not to use that title? — Amakuru (talk) 10:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps an historical title for past coverage. A simple new title [of] "BBC Look North (Yorkshire)" is no more unacceptable. --- 212.50.182.151 (talk) 07:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably matching the division name BBC Yorkshire, although the BBC like us are using it to disambiguate it between the two other Look Norths, however just using 'Yorkshire' alone is certainly not as accurate as 'Yorkshire and the North Midlands'. -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 19:03, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Incorrect name"[edit]

Given that we have at least three articles about different versions of "BBC Look North" (see also BBC Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire) and BBC Look North (North East and Cumbria)) in different local broadcasting regions of the same country, what other name is even possible here besides disambiguating them by region? England ain't gonna cut it given that all three of them are in England, so what other alternative could possibly be any more compliant with WP:NCTV or WP:NCBC?
