Just spotted a brief item in last week's Press Gazette which says that Andrea Catherwood has been appointed full-time presenter of the ITV Weekend News.


At the risk of over speculating again - could that mean Andrea Catherwood replaces Steve Scott who replaces Mark Austin who replaces Trevor McDonald


Replace's Steve Scott?? He only presents it occassionally and he isn't the dedicated weekend presenter. she presents it more than he does. anyway. infact felicity barr probably presents it more than steve scott. i wouldn't rule out McDonald doing another year, this story is always around- 'who's going to replace McDonald'

EDIT Catherwood now on as weekend presenter

Steve Scott has presented virtually every weekend bulletin I've seen for around 2-3 months - since Nina took over from Mary.


Well you musn't have been watching it much because he has been Asia for the Tsunami coverage. And lately James Mates has been doing a lot of Sunday's news Steve might have presented weekend just gone but Andrea Catherwood was on the week before that.

But, still, I wonder, at least, if the ITV national news will change when Sir Trev OBE retires.

Whoever replaces him will probably stand up more and no doubt have a slot on the News Channel. Besides that I doubt there will be any other changes

That's the only way I can see it changing, too.

No doubt when Trev retires, Mark Austin - who's improved over the last few years as a newscaster - will take over and, like what has been said, Mark has a new schedule presenting the 7pm or 8pm shifts......
Then a new rota for the Evening News
and quite possibly... Lunchtime News.

That is what I mean.

Surely it is stating the obvious to say that the presenter lineup will be reshuffled to some extent?

i think it would devalue the 10:30 if who ever replaces trevor presents on the news channel before 10:30.

I don't agree if anything it would be better for those people who don't want to stay up to which the ten thirty can see the same person on the newschannel at an earlier time.
Whenever John Suchet presented the late news he also did the 8-9 hour on the newschannel.
One of the reasons why I watch the 8-9 hour is because Felicity Barr presents it - I can't stay up late because of work to watch the late bulletin so I watch the newschannel at that time - I know it might sound daft but there it is
