The really puzzling thing about that article, which was discussed at the time, is that the article itself has almost no relevance to the title, the story mainly being about the NC no longer being required to send presenters on location for major international stories. Even for MailOnline if seems like whoever wrote the title didn't bother reading the story.


Actually, you're right - it doesn't really have much relevance. I also haven't seen much evidence of this happening. I'm sure if the BBC wanted to reduce the number of anchors, they would've probably just axed them anyway. Furthermore, there was no mention of this in their recent DQF initiative.

The above might have been discussed before due to it being produced last year. Is it me, or do you find dual anchors better than single anchors?

La Dennis. The legend. She's doing the slot today which is normally handled by Yalda Hakim on a Friday.

Naga Munchetty did the 5am today instead of Martine.

And Kasia Madera will be doing World News Today for the rest of this month, according to her agent yesterday.


From what I've read, Martine Dennis is one of those very long-serving anchors at BBC, in the same league as people like Nik Gowing, the ex presenter Nisha Pillai, Peter Dobbie and some others hence the legend title eh? Razz

Anyway, I seem to always find her having a weird rhythm in the way she talks. And she also likes to tilt her head rather acutely to one side of the screen and then to the other side. She has her unique way of reading sentences.

Kasia presenting WNT is new to me. I think Zeinab probably is heading somewhere for on-location Hardtalk.


Martine never says 'hello' or 'welcome' to the audience either from what I've seen.

Out of interest, does the 1830-2100 presenter present between 19/2030-19/2035. The sport never seems to be on!

Who would everyone say is the most senior presenter on the domestic BBC News Channel? This is excluding Sian Williams, Sophie Raworth, Kate Silverton, George Alagiah, Huw Edwards, and Fiona Bruce.


Jane Hill?


I would agree with you. It's either her of Matthew Amroliwala.


Agreed Matthew and Jane seem to be the senior presenters now. Both are sent on location for the big events like Thatcher's funeral, Opening of Parliament etc like Jon Sopel used to. Simon and Carrie would be pretty senior too imo


Isn't Tim Wilcox sent to do those things as well?


He is sent to do things, but he's a relief presenter, and doesn't have a slot assigned to him. He is probably the most senior relief presenter, probably along with Sophie Long as she also provides a lot of cover.


Tim hasn't really been on a lot since the move , so i would have to disagree.


He's been on every single weekday this week apart from Wednesday....... Smile

that has been the most he has been on since the move. Confused


Nope, he covered for Annita for a week, covered for Matthew a couple of times, covered for Maxine Mawhinney, reported live from Cyprus for the whole day, presented along side Joanna in launch week, and has even presented a national BBC weekend lunchtime bulletin!!! Trust me, he's everywhere Smile
