BBC Look East
BBC Look East is a BBC regional television news service for the East of England, produced by BBC East.
The first BBC television news bulletins for the East of England began at 6.05pm on 5 October 1959. These new bulletins, launched three weeks ahead of the launch of regional ITV station Anglia Television were initially ten minutes long.
The bulletin was extended to twenty minutes in September 1962 and renamed East Anglia at Six, and then a year later renamed East at Six Ten due to a change in timeslot. Another change in timeslot saw it renamed as Look East from 28 September 1964, although that evening's programme failed to go out due to a breakdown and Look East instead began on September 29.
Look East is broadcast from BBC East's headquarters at The Forum, Norwich. Prior to 29 September 2003, the programme aired from studios in St Catherine's Close, Norwich.
The programme can be watched in any part of the UK (and Europe) on Sky Digital channel 961 "east" and channel 962 for the "west" sub-regional service from Cambridge, or Freesat channels 953 (East) and 954 (West), on the BBC UK regional TV on satellite service. The services were added to the Sky Digital platform on 29 July 2003 and were available on Freesat from launch.
Some areas that are well covered by Look East receive better television signals from other transmitters in other regions on Freeview. Most of Southend and parts of Chelmsford, Luton and Stevenage receive better television signals from the Crystal Palace transmitter which broadcast London News and viewers in King’s Lynn, Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-Sea get better signals from the Belmont TV transmitter that broadcast Look North.
However, those areas are given Look East on Channel 101 through satellite television such as Freesat as default via the towns' postcodes.
The southeastern fringes of Leicestershire around Market Harborough receive Look East on Freeview as local news meaning the town receive better signals from the Sandy Heath transmitter rather than Waltham transmitter.
