Sky's Europe Correspondent since the beginning of the year Jonathan Hunt won't be returning to Brussels after his current holiday. Based in the US until the end of last year, Hunt is being brought back to London to do general news reporting.

It is rumoured that Peter Sharp, recently relieved of his Technofile Extra duties, or David Chater could be moving accross the channel. Also watch out for Laurence Lee or Chris Roberts getting a foreign posting soon!

Also, Keith Graves is set to leave Washington after only 12 months in the US capital.

So they're changing again!?
I was expecting Michelle Clifford to be posted abroad - especially after she went to cover the US Election.
Hopefully they're planning to open a set of new overseas offices - now they're just concentrating on news. And especially when you consider how many extra journalists they're taking on.
My guess at where the next office would open would be Mexico City - they've got nothing in South America.
Or perhaps Paris, then Berlin if they want to be a more Europe-focused channel.
Wouldn't surprise me if they open a new bureau somewhere in Africa.

I forget to include Clifford on my tips for the top! She was a former North West Tonight reporter.

I can't see Sky opening South America or Paris bureaux. Stuart Ramsey has been successful in Africa. A few days don't go by without seeing one of his packages. BUT there are OTHER stories apart from AIDS. In his first 6 months or so in Africa we had an AIDS story on the screens nearly every day.
