Calendar (British TV programme)
ITV News Calendar is a British television news service broadcast and produced by ITV Yorkshire.
The news service transmits to Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, northwestern Norfolk and parts of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire areas of England. It is produced and broadcast from ITV Yorkshire's Leeds studios with district reporters and camera crews based at newsrooms in Hull, Lincoln, Sheffield and York.
The programme currently transmits into two sub regions.
Freesat viewers in Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Bolsover receive Calendar East on channel 103 as default via those areas postcode.
In some (but not all) areas of North Yorkshire viewers have their aerials point to Bilsdale TV transmitter that broadcasts ITV News Tyne Tees from Gateshead, however most viewers in the county point their aerial to the Emley Moor or Oliver's Mount Transmitter to watch ITV News Calendar. Viewers in Scarborough and some in Filey receive ITV News Calendar from the relay transmitter at Oliver's Mount.
Calendar first aired on the launch day of Yorkshire Television – Monday 29 July 1968. Since its launch, the programme has been produced at ITV Yorkshire's main studios in Kirkstall Road, Leeds. Calendar's first presenter was Jonathan Aitken. In later years, it was hosted by Richard Whiteley (until 1995, alongside his duties on Countdown, earning him the nickname "Twice Nightly Whiteley"), Austin Mitchell (until he became a Labour Member of Parliament in 1977), Marylyn Webb, Christa Ackroyd and Mike Morris.
Upon gaining the Belmont transmitter in 1974 from Anglia Television, which served south Lincolnshire and north Norfolk, the programme developed a regional opt-out service for the area within the main programme. At the same time, Yorkshire Television inherited the Anglia news offices in Grimsby and Hull and opened a further newsroom in Lincoln. For several years until the early 1980s, viewers served by the Belmont transmitter also received a localised weather forecast produced by the weather department at Anglia.
On 28 March 1977, Yorkshire Television launched a six-week breakfast television experiment. Good Morning Calendar (a name later reused for its regional news programme in Good Morning Britain) is credited as being the United Kingdom's first breakfast television programme, six years before the launch of the BBC's Breakfast Time. The programme ran concurrently with a similar Tyne Tees programme, Good Morning North for North East viewers. Both series ended after nine weeks on 27 May 1977.
