I don't think Maxine is leaving.


I do hope she isn't.

Maxine is indeed leaving.
I don't get it either, people like Shaun Ley and Ben Brown who have no real job and aren't anywhere as good at presenting should be the ones shown the door.


This post makes little to no sense at all.

BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

m_in_m posted:
Maxine has said in Twitter that Dateline continues with someone else at the helm bit has since said that today is the penultimate #weekendnewsclub which sounds as though Maxine might be leaving - on basis that I can't see a weekday vacancy.

Do we know what is happening with the weekday afternoon slot? Was that single or double headed last week?

Think it was single headed - maybe split between Simon and Jane, with Jane doing the five on Fridays too?

Maxine's last shift is Monday afternoon as per twitter. Real shame she's leaving - with both her and Gavin gone I'm wondering if weekends will indeed become World News simulcasts, or if it's just the presenter positions that are closing?

BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Jane Hill was presenting Saturday PM this week - wonder if we might see more of presenters like Jane and Simon McCoy appearing on other BBC outlets (like World News and Radio 4)?

BBC News "Break in"

Worzel posted:

What actually happened on air? Did the News channel go to a recorded programme at 7:30 after the weather? Rachel Schofield's seen walking off set so I can't imagine they were in a position to cut back to E after the weather.


I doubt they'd cut back to studio E until security were there, surely, in case they reappeared?

Chris Rogers was back on the news channel last night for the first time since November last year and must have been replacing Clive Myrie. Clive has started doing the late shift for the past few weeks on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, occasionally a Thursday.


That's Clive's regular slot, and has been for years now?

BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Yes there is

Perhaps the question is there building work or similar happening. There's newsgathering and related work happening 24/7.

Isn't the question really: doesn't this prove there's about to be a wholesale rebrand of BBC News, with a new studio, titles, onscreen graphics - even new presenters?! There are so many conclusions you're not leaping to... this isn't the TVF I know.

BBC News | Presenter & Correspondent Reshuffles

Reminiscent of when Emily Maitlis covered the political editor brief a couple of years ago while Allegra Stratton was on maternity leave. Emily continued to present her Newsnight shifts as usual.

Channel 4 News

Cathy referred to Helia as Economics Correspondent. On the website, Helia is still referred to as Business Correspondent. Seriously, did Cathy forget the correct title of Helia's job?


A. It may not have been Cathy who added the job title in the script
B. Broadcasters are often flexible about how a correspondent is titled depending on the story - if she was covering a predominantly economics brief that day, it wouldn't make sense to describe her as a business correspondent
C. Even if it was just a slip of the tongue, so what? No one at ITN is going to accurately recall every single colleague's exact job title every time

There are legal reasons why the media can't report certain information in the UK. It may influence any court case and could jeopardise the case, especially concerning the jury. People have posted about this before but haven't quite realised the consequences it can have.


If you're referring to the tram crash, then if that had happened on a regular day, there'd have been saturation coverage, and speculation all morning, just as past similar accidents have had. I suppose thanks to Trump's (was it such a surprise ?) win we can be thankful they didn't go to that extreme.

Talking of legalities though, I was surprised to see the drivers face not pixelated out on that video that emerged on Saturday ?


Considering he had been suspended at that point, and being able to see his eyes was essential to demonstrating he appeared to be asleep, I suspect the lawyers cleared it as in the public interest. They didn't otherwise identify the driver, and his face had already been published online (and in The Sun itself?).

BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Although Katty Kay and Jon Sopel will both be fully engaged with their regular full time jobs this week.

Then again, in addition to Huw and Clive being there, Andrew Neil and Emily Maitlis are both there for the main election night coverage, and Martha Kearney and Jim Naughtie are there for Radio 4. What having Huw there for the network bulletins will add to the table I don't know.

Mark Austin leaves ITN

Steve Williams posted:

Maybe he's just bored of reading the news and wants to write books or make single documentaries or something? He's certainly done it for long enough.

Like how Katie Derham went off to follow her dream.

It kind of explains why he did those GMB stints, just as something he could say he'd done, like when Michael Buerk hosted Breakfast, and indeed Nicholas Owen and Peter Sissons' post retirement News channel gigs.


What are you on about?

I think Andrew was talking about Mark perhaps wanting to try his hands at something new - citing guest hosting GMB (a different skill set and experience to network bulletins) or Katie Derham moving to BBC Proms and Radio 2 as examples.

I imagine Mark's options were maybe a bit more limited if he wanted to do something different at ITV given Julie Etchingham is already fulfilling the Tonight / special reports brief (likely at a pretty large price tag compared to the average correspondent).

ETA: that said it struck me as interesting that Mark will continue to work with ITN productions, and ITN put out the press release quoting mostly the head of ITN - I'm sure it was ITV who announced Bradby's appointment to News at Ten. Does make you wonder if there's bad blood between Mark and ITV, but not his colleagues/employer at ITN, and therefore whether he appears on Channel 4 or 5 as much as he does ITV.

BBC News & BBC World News - Further Staff Cutbacks

My bet is Ben Brown (counterintuitively) leaves the News Channel for a new position as special correspondent, or some kind of new editor level position. He doesn't seem to have a regular slot, and three presenters sharing five shifts a week clearly won't work. That would then leave the afternoon slot to Jane and Simon to share in a similar fashion to Newsroom Live, while also covering the One and Five.

I agree with other posters that it doesn't seem sensible to have a dedicated presenter for the weekend network bulletins - moving Clive to Sundays and adding Kate to the News channel on Saturday evenings would eliminate the duplication, while Martine and Clive could keep similar hours to they currently do covering the evening shift between them on weekdays. In other words, positions might be eliminated and savings reached, without anyone actually leaving the corporation. It's also plausible current NC faces may appear in slots that don't have fixed presenters - like Sunday Breakfast, or various WN programmes.

It's also unclear, as far as I can tell, what the impact is to business bulletins on the News Channel?

I'd like to think Jane and Simon are both too high profile to be let go, unless one took voluntary redundancy. I'm guessing that's Emily now gone from the NC though - does she even still regularly present on Mondays?
