Both of Yorkshire's regional TV news programmes, BBC Look North and ITV Calendar, are joining forces for the first time in their 49-year histories in memory of the late MP Jo Cox.
This Friday marks a year since the Batley and Spen Labour MP was murdered and this weekend hundreds of Great Get-Together events have been planned.
Christine Talbot from Calendar and Harry Gration from BBC Look North will broadcast together from Birstall Market Place on both ITV (18:00) and BBC One (18:30) where one of the events will take place:
