BBC Look North is the BBC's regional TV news service for East Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull and Lincolnshire produced by BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The programmes are produced and broadcast from the BBC Broadcasting Centre at Queens Court in Hull with reporters also based in Lincoln.

[edit] Broadcasts
On weekdays, Look North broadcasts six three-minute opt-outs during BBC Breakfast at 27 and 57 minutes past each hour. A fifteen-minute lunchtime programme follows at 1:30pm, before the main half-hour edition at 6:30pm. A short 30-second headlines update during the 8pm BBC News Summary and a seven-minute late update is shown at 10:25pm, following the BBC News at Ten.
Look North also airs four bulletins during the weekend: a lunchtime bulletin on Saturday, early evening bulletins on Saturday & Sunday and a late night bulletin on Sundays, following the BBC News at Ten. The times of these bulletins usually vary.
[edit] Coverage area
The programme covers East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (the areas covered by BBC Radio Lincolnshire and BBC Radio Humberside). Small parts of Lincolnshire are also covered by East Midlands Today.
A few households in north-west Norfolk whose television aerials point towards the Belmont transmitting station in Lincolnshire receive BBC Look North rather than BBC Look East, which the rest of Norfolk receives. The increase in households with digital receivers means that many in the area receive Look East. The Monks Road repeater transmitter in Lincoln transmits East Midlands Today, rather than Look North after a poll amongst households in 1994. The focus of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has meant that digital (freeview) and non-digital viewers alike feel cut off from the rest of Yorkshire as much of the news coverage is items south of the Humber. This unsatisfactory situation has been brought to the attention of the BBC but so far there has been no positive response. The BBC appears to regard its news (and weather) coverage for the Hull area as adequate, despite having its inadequacies pointed out by people living in the city.
[edit] History
Look North's Hull-based programme began in November 2002, presented by Helen Fospero (nee Morton) and Peter Levy. The programme was presented from a tiny studio built in the existing Radio Humberside 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 larger 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 first presenter of the opt-outs was Clare Frisby.
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.
The current editor, Mark Hayman, was appointed in November 2007 and now oversees an integrated operation of journalists and technical operators.
