However, in 1999-00 [[Andrew Carter]] the then News Editor decided to try and run a "proper" news service and put the programme on every night of the week, with even a lunchtime "update" attempted at one point. The news content was nearly always rehashed from the BBC and Yorkshire Evening Press websites, with two presenters sitting at a plain black newsdesk with a red curtain on the front against a black background. The programme suffered from a lack of VT inserts because there was rarely enough time to produce them given the five-nights-a-week schedule.

The show had a number of title sequences - the first depicted a crew on location filming an item, before returning to the control room and putting the tape in a UMatic machine. The next, introduced in 1999, featured flying "Bulletin" lettering over shots of campus and the control room whilst the programme was going out. This was followed in 2002 by another title sequence, this time entirely graphical, using the same piece of music. This title sequence was re-vamped in October 2002 to include shots around the university in the background | The show had a number of title sequences - the first depicted a crew on location filming an item, before returning to the control room and putting the tape in a UMatic machine.
