Minor clarity:
Kate Silverton was one of the launch presenters of GMT on World. George Alagiah presented Monday to Thursday and Kate appeared on Fridays. However, Kate hasn’t appeared on GMT (or wider BBC World) for several years now.
Mishal Husain was never a “relief” presenter on World since the early 00’s! She was - for many years - a lead anchor on BBC World News, eventually securing her own show (Impact with Mishal Husain).
After moving to radio and Sundays Network, Mishal has never again appeared as a news presenter on BBC World apart from two occasions:
• A simulcast version of Impact from Asia which she anchored live on both radio and tv;
• Mishal appeared LIVE from World Studio B in the evening coverage of the day of Mandela’s death.
