30pm following ITV News at Ten. At weekends, two 5-minute editions of Calendar are broadcast - one later on Saturday afternoons and another on Sunday evenings. On weekday mornings, Good Morning Calendar airs short bulletins within Good Morning Britain at approximately 6. 05am, 7. 05am and 8. 05am. Sub-regional bulletins for the North and South areas consist of the first 20 minutes of the 6pm programme on weekdays and all shorter bulletins.
February 2009 to September 2013 Cutbacks in ITV regional news coverage in early 2009 meant that its seventeen regions would be cut down to nine to "save costs", and regional news programmes would become pan-regional. The final sub-regional editions of Calendar aired on Wednesday 18 February 2009 with a new pan-regional programme launching the next day. Short opt-outs are retained for the North and South sub-regions within the 6pm programme and after News at Ten - either the North or South opt is pre-recorded depending on the day's news. [6] The then remaining sub-regional elements were: A 6-minute opt-out during the main 6pm programme. The full 8-minute late night bulletin, following ITV News at Ten. Both sub-regional editions utilise exactly the same presenter(s) and studio/set, therefore one of the two opt-outs - depending on the day's news - is pre-recorded 'as live' shortly before broadcast. [7] Following a refit of the main Kirkstall Road studios to accommodate HD production of Emmerdale, the news centre opposite the building was closed and production of Calendar moved back into the main facility in October 2012.
