Plans are in place for the stations at Leeds, York and Sheffield to share more programming. Under the proposed cuts, the NUJ says the current 100 hours of community programming a week would be halved. They added that: "At present the South, West Midlands, North West and North East won’t have some form of regional news on air. The normal programme broadcast from Hull, presented by Peter Levy, would not be aired.Ī spokesperson said: "For both Yorkshire and East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Look North will go out tonight broadcasting from Leeds." The BBC told ITV News that most areas of England would have a main regional television news programme at 6.30pm, but some programming would change. There was restricted output on Wednesday's early morning radio bulletins, including at Radio Leeds, Radio York and Radio Humberside. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said around 1,000 members were expected to walk out on Wednesday and Thursday, 7 and 8 June. The BBC's regional news programmes have again been impacted by staff taking part in strike action over proposed cuts to local radio.
