Yorkshire News

Calendar (with no word after it) is Yorkshire's flagship evening news programme, a name that has survived takeovers and even corporate rebrands under ITV plc ownership. From the 70s, a quick set of titles involving flipping through a calendar!

Angela Ewart introduces a short 1990 Calendar News bulletin from high above their state-of-the-art newsroom which had only very recently opened.

A promo looking ahead to the evening Calendar show, which on the Friday night here focuses heavily on the upcoming League Cup Final between Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday due at the weekend. Sheffield famously went on to win the match, although Yorkshire's coverage became quite controversial for the region as they cut away from the celebrations to show War of the Monster Trucks instead.

Presented by Lesley Alexander, the intro to a short late news bulletin from Calendar in 1998. Headlines include an attack on a West Yorkshire pensioner and a jail sentence for a man who tapped a streetlamp for his electricity supply.

This basic music remained the same for over 10 years, as well as cropping up during startup, with some minor remixing to keep it up-to-date, before finally being axed in 2004.

2003, and a whole new look for all of Yorkshire's news output. This was also to be the last regional look from Yorkshire, with the corporate looks taking over from 2004. All coverage follows from the first day of the new look; May 27th. First off, the main Calendar programme.

Handover from the lunchtime edition of Calendar to the weather.

Less than a year after the fresh Calendar look had hit the air, it was dropped in favour of the generic ITV plc news look in February 2004, also finally spelling the end for the long-lived Calendar music. As with the other regions, the new set that had been brought in with the 2003 relaunch lived on for a while longer, albeit now relit in yellow and blue to match the nationwide graphics.

Initially after the introduction of the generic news look, subregional news continued as before, just with the updated branding and colours applied. Although all subregions would be phased out too only a few years later. Here the main Calendar studio hands over to Nicola Crompton in the Calendar East booth.
