Well apart from recording every single newsreader in every single combination, there really is no other way of doing it. Given the amount of freelancers and new people that pop up every few weeks, poor old Bruce Hamill would be doing nothing else!
To be fair, Sky News pull the cut and paste TOH's off quite well. I've done a few for a digital radio station that I work for, and to get the voice over artiste to say the name without the natural 'up' inflection at the end of the surname is quite trying to do.

I don't think it'll ever sound right if you just get the voice to say the names in isolation, as a list. Get him/her to say them in the sentence they're going to be used in, maybe with a slight pause either side to make them easier to edit.
Of course when the BBC news changed format and regional presenters were named on the clock for the first time, the announcers in London recorded about 1,000 combinations.

Sounds like co-anchor Lisa Aziz has got the flu too, do we reckon they shared a quick valentines day snog in the sky news dungeon?
