Having seen Katie Ledger crop up on the ITV News Channel yesterday, does anyone know what has happened to Rob Butler and Charlie Stayt, especially the later who would be an asset to any news broadcaster!

i would have thought some of the 5 news peeps would have popped up in permanent positions on regional news programmes if not news channels by now.

the 5 news presenters were very high calibre back in the itn days, even if they were in awful studios (apart from the newsroom) and shunted around the schedules.

that's not to say the sky team aren't good, i just think people grew to know the original team since the launch of channel 5, especially as the news service was (IMO) the best thing on the channel.

Rob Butler was doing some hypnosis thing on Five not so long ago. Can't remember what it was about exactly, I think it was something to do with Diana.

Going off topic, but it's not worth a new one, but does anyone know what Daljit Dhaliwal is up to now, of Channel 4 News and ITN World News fame?

Daljit is with CNN International. She pops up now and again on Your World Today. In saying that I have not seen her for a while. Zain Verjee is the usual co-host with Jim Clancy.
