BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, sometimes abbreviated to BBC Yorks & Lincs, is the name for the BBC's twelfth English Region, based in Kingston upon Hull and created from the division of the former BBC North region, based in Leeds (now known as BBC Yorkshire). The primary transmitter is located at Belmont and covers East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and north west Norfolk.
The regional output of BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire consists of the flagship Look North, the topical magazine programme Inside Out and a twenty-minute opt-out during Sunday Politics. The region also produces the late night football programme Late Kick Off with BBC Yorkshire and also airs the Super League Show, produced by PDI Media at BBC Yorkshire's studio in Leeds and simulcast in the North West and in the North East and Cumbria.
The region is the controlling centre for the local radio stations BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio Lincolnshire
Both radio stations simulcast some programming from each other, the radio stations in the BBC Yorkshire region, and with BBC Radio 5 Live.
