How do you know this ?

I wonder, if they keep all main presenters will they swap them around on the one main Meridian Tonight or use them as reporters ?


Good idea but I feel that would be too costly...wont be long now I wouldnt of thought. Ive got my ideas on whose going to get the main presenter roles.

I guess Fred and Debbie would be the obvious presenting team I guess - from an ITV budget cut perspective though they'd probably not want to keep hold of the both of them as they're surely amongst there higher paid of the presenters.

You have to bare in mind that they may not even want the added workload. I wouldn't be surprised if ITV kept Fred on his contract and then didn't renew it, by which point ITV regional news will be a joke anyway.

Aside from the presenting, I wonder who will be left reporting. I'm fairly sure most regions have had a core of reporters for years.

Dont think it would that simple would it? Would be lovely as Wesley is at home in the Central region which was illustrated the other week when he was back on CNWest.

Providing Sangeeta stops being so hyperactive and talking nonsense when doing small talk! Helen James or Debbie would be a good choice.
