I hope its not Ben either, Simon was good when he presented a few years ago!


There will be a very good reason why Ben has been working with Louise over the last couple of weeks, with Jon on evenings on News 24...I wonder what it could be.

So which News 24 presenter do we reckon will replace Dermot?


What makes you ask that?


Because I heard they're screentesting and shortlisting NOW! Very Happy


Are you sure they're replacing Dermot with someone other than Bill? It was announced in October that Dermot was leaving, so there was plenty of time to find someone in between then and Dermot leaving at the end of December. Why leave it till now?

Hmm, maybe Ben & Louise to Breakfast?

Or perhaps Jon is being screen tested. Either way I hope they don't break up the Jon & Louise partnership, its the best one on News 24!

He's one of the lead presenters, and one of the most senior - he's not being tested for anything... I do, however, agree that I hope Jon & Louise partnership remains intact.

Jon and Joanna could be good too though.

I thought initially they'd moved Jon to the evenings because of his knowledge of US Politics with the US elections this year. He'd be covering 2pm-5pm US time rather than 9am-noon US time, which is his usual slot.

Emily seems to appear on Louise's shift quite a lot recently as well... I'd hate to see Jon move to evenings permanently though Sad

Shocked OK in that case my dog's available Wink (though he'd only work 4 days a week!)

Yep pretty sure.
And your sure they're not screentestin for Bill's position.

Also, if Bill isn't the new presenter, perhaps its because he doesn't want it - anyone thought of that?

Laughing Great reaction - obviously a Bill fan then. I never said that he didn't want it and that seems like a sound explanation but whatever he want's they are looking for a replacement (for Dermot that is Wink )
