BBC Yorkshire is one of the English regions of the BBC. It was formed from the division of the former BBC North region into BBC Yorkshire and BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, based in Hull.
BBC Yorkshire's television output consists of the flagship regional news service Look North, the topical magazine programme Inside Out and a 20-minute opt-out during Sunday Politics. BBC Yorkshire also co-produces the rugby league highlights programme The Super League Show, which is simulcast in the North West, North East & Cumbria and East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire regions on Monday nights.
The region is the controlling centre for BBC Radio Leeds, BBC Radio York and BBC Radio Sheffield.
The three stations simulcast networked programming during the evenings and late night.
BBC Yorkshire also produces regional news and local radio pages for BBC Red Button and BBC Local News websites for each county.
The regional operation from Leeds began in 1968, when the original BBC North region was broken up into BBC North, BBC North West and BBC North East, with the BBC North name being transferred from Manchester to the new operation in Leeds. The new operation was called BBC North until 2002.
In 2002, viewers on the Belmont transmitter transferred to the BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire service, and the service began to use the on-screen name of BBC Yorkshire. This was made official in 2004, when both the Leeds operation, and the East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire operation in Hull, moved into new premises.
