[citation needed] North Nottinghamshire (Bassetlaw), northeast Derbyshire (Chesterfield), the eastern High Peak (Hope Valley) and northern area of the Derbyshire Dales (Tideswell and Hathersage) receive better signals from the Emley Moor transmitter rather than the Waltham transmitter which means Look North covers those areas.

Breakfast bulletins during BBC Breakfast aired at 27 and 57 minutes past each hour until Monday 6 June 2016, when the opt-outs were merged with those provided by Look North's sister service in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as part of a pilot scheme from the BBC's Hull studios.

[3] The launch of a dedicated regional news service from Leeds allowed for greater coverage of the two distinct areas on each side of the Pennines.

It also coincided with the decision to introduce a separate ITV contractor for the east of the Pennines, Yorkshire Television, which went on air in July 1968 along with its own regional news magazine, Calendar.

[4] Because the Leeds programme was carried on the powerful Holme Moss transmitter, it could be received in the north-west, Isle of Man, south to near Birmingham and even in parts of Northern Ireland as viewers' correspondence often testified (the Manchester programme was carried from Winter Hill and restricted to the north-west).

In 1974, Look North moved to new studios at Broadcasting House on Woodhouse Lane near Leeds Metropolitan University and around the corner from All Souls Church.

The new facilities, equipped for colour, remained the base for Look North Leeds and other regional programmes until 26 September 2004.

A new broadcasting centre was built near the West Yorkshire Playhouse on St Peter's Square, with BBC Look North moving into the new premises on 27 September 2004.
