BBC North East and Cumbria is the BBC English Region covering Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Teesside and all but the Southern part of Cumbria. There is considerable overlap with the BBC regional service transmissions from Leeds. BBC North East and Cumbria also broadcasts from the Bilsdale transmitter in North Yorkshire to towns southwards including Harrogate, York and Northallerton. In the early 1990s transmissions from the Caldbeck transmitter in Cumbria were transferred from BBC North West to the BBC North East Region prompting a name change to BBC North for programming from Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle. Considerable numbers of viewers would like to see the link with Manchester restored. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
