BBC News: Presenters, correspondent & rotas

Tazeen Ahmad, familiar to viewers of BBC Three's news bulletins including 60 Seconds and later Channel 4 Dispatches, has died.

Was really impressed by Clive Myrie on Six tonight. Anchored from location better than anyone. Not a fan as studio based but he excels in the field. Or in the flood as was the case today

Very sad news. She was actually the first presenter of the first 60 Seconds bulletin on BBC Choice according to the following video:

Agreed. He's similar to Ben Brown in that respect.

Clive was already in the area presumably as he’d been reporting on election matters from Leeds the day before.

I thought it was quite odd on Thursday how the Sheffield floods only got a small mention way down the bulletin on the Ten, with a live report from Look North’s Tom Ingall, who then of course appeared on Look North itself a few minutes later. I suppose it’s a good use of resources but I don’t know if that was planned.

Could also be because Clive’s mum lives in Derby?

Does she have enough spare rooms for the crew, and parking for the SNG van?

Isn't Clive's post effectively as the UK based Foreign Correspondent (according to his Twitter) equal to that of Katty Kay or Rico Hizon

Clive: newsreader and senior on- location anchor/correspondent.

Exactly the same as Ben Brown, Mark Austin, Jeremy Thompson, Sandy Gall and Christian Fraser etc etc

Din’t think this counts as a notable event, but Elizabeth Rizzini from the BBC London weather team is doing a weather bulletin for the domestic news channel for what must be her first time? Good to see new weather presenters for the channel

She's done that slot before, don't think she's done any other time on the news channel though

She's still on now doing the 11:29 forecast.
