BBC North East and Cumbria is the BBC English Region covering Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Teesside and the northern 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 Caldebeck 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.
Its television service includes the daily Look North news programme, the weekly regional magazine programme Inside Out and the weekly Politics Show.
The region is the controlling centre for BBC Radio Cleveland, BBC Radio Cumbria and BBC Radio Newcastle, and the local editions of the BBC's Where I Live websites.
The regional headquarters and television centre is in Spital Tongues, Newcastle upon Tyne.
