Merry Christmas to some of you and Happy New Year to all of you who participate in the BBC World thread. Let's hope 2009 continues to be a good year for World! Thanks to all the producers, reporters, technical staff, camerapeople, editors, bureau staff, correspondents and wonderful anchors (those behind the desk, those in helicopters and those who do both)................
BBC World - Putting News First.
I echo your sentiments! Is the guy in the third picture who I think it is?
Could it be ........... could it possibly be.... A Yates? It is great to see his photograph on the net (if it is him!) but his fans want to see him on the box. I have been waiting all week to see him present and .... nothing.
BBC World, where is he? The missing link!
All we got is James Dag...., a poor substitute. However, Maryam was great!

This is a plea to all BBC WORLD fans! Please vote in the News Presenter Of theYear thread.
It seems that fans of the oher stations are bulldozing their way onto the thread and BBC WORLD is lagging behind.If you are a true believer, VOTE. We need to support our station because it is the best.
CNN - too showy, loud and lacks substance
SKY - repetitive, boring
AL JAZEERA ENG - biased

Karin Giannone was on the overnights last night and then turned up again just four hours later with David Eades for the double-header!! And in between that, we had three hours of "with me"!
I am sorry, guys, but I find Karin Gianone PAINFUL. Maybe if it were 40 years ago, I would have a different feeling!
Why, oh ,why, did we have to endure J Robertson presenting news on Sunday from 19.00 gmt. He is not a good reader and he does not have the same charisma he seems to produce when he is doing Business. The latter is what he does best.
There are plenty of good presenters so BBC does not need JR to do news. What about Alastair Yates, Tony Campion, Lynette Tye or good, old Julian Marshall?
For gravitas, you cannot get better than A Yates.
I hope BBC WORLD have lined up a good team for presentation over Xmas and New Year. And, hopefully, more news and less Xmas!
