And yet Chris isn't used on the late bulletins on weekends when, say Tim Willcox will come in to present the National Simulcast, when Chris is the Duty News channel presenter on air. Beggars belief!
Not really. If anyone more senior could do it they would. But they can't. The fact Chris has appeared on national bulletins a couple of times isn't reason to think he should appear more frequently. I'm sure there are plenty of regional reporters who could give the nationals a good shot on a day like this, but that isn't reason to use them instead of more senior and experienced presenters.
I was under the impression that the Directors were under NUJ and the actually gallery staff were under BECTU?
No - directors in BBC News are likely to be members of BECTU if they are in a union.
Technical staff are all Bectu members, which includes gallery, directors, producers etc etc... easy night for those!
I have word that it's Chris Rogers, who isn't in dispute that will head the main network bulletins (1, 6, and 10).
Could you expand on 'producers'? Surely that'd be more journalism than presentation?
Who's that on overnights? Most certainly not Kasia Madera...
