Arise News

The last I'd heard about Arise News was that it was gone from the Sky EPG and staff weren't being paid. It was to my surprise, then, that I found it lurking at the latter end of the News section in the Sky EPG.

I tuned in to find The Big Breakfast's Phil Gayle reading the news - I don't think he was an original presenter there. Anyway, he was rather good.

Phil Gayle has been there a while. Also reading the news there is Vanessa Cuddeford, ex ITV Westcountry.

Asha Tanna (ex 5 News) is also on Arise.

They seem to have refreshed their format since then, with 'arise news tonight' etc.
I'm was surprised to see them return after the mess after launch. They seem to have improved greatly since then imo.

I was wondering what had happened to him, he was BBC Radio Oxford's breakfast show presenter until fairly
recently. Yes, he is good.

He still does Breakfast on BBC Radio Oxford.

They have a very good news anchor: Richard Davies, often on in the morning. He was with ABC News Australia.
Watching Arise News this morning it is interesting to note that they haven't mentioned the Rochester by-election once. Although they are a London based news channel they seem to stay clear of UK news stories even if they have international interest.

What is Arise News?
