They had a week long vvankfest in 2019 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Newcastle Fairs Cup win. Something about it every night, all week. Wonder if they will do that for us in 2054The older members of this forum will tell you that it has always been the same - because it has.
I think our local news broadcasters based in Newcastle are shockingly insular and
I’ve noticed they quite like to avoid Newcastle for any bad news stories, suddenly other parts of the north east become more important.
Its sickening really, I‘m only watching them because it’s lockdown and I have more time on my hands.

Sent them a snotty and sarcastic email. Feel better nowI emailed Look North a few years back about the running order of sports stories.
We had gone top of the league after a midweek game, but were still 3rd in the running order behind Sunderland and Newcastle "breaking stories". I got a prompt response back from Mark Tulip explaining in detail why they had used that running order. While I didn't agree with what they had done, I was pleased that he took the time out to respond. He also promised me that they would be broadcasting live from the Riverside soon and he was right, they were there on the following night.
