How good is Sally Nugent on Breakfast this morning. Relaxed, warm, intelligent, pretty. A real breath of fresh air.

I'm not sure about satellite. When C4 had that gas leak at HFR, and switched to their disaster recovery centre, the D-Sat streams that were mapped to Sky Ch 104 were also changed, I can't remember why ? (or rather what was speculated at the time why !) Probably fewer LEMNUS regions available ?


I thought that all of the streams carried the same output rather than 104 being remapped? I'm led to believe that such remapping can't be done seamlessly

Probably not, no, but I do recall that day taking a look at the six LEMNUS streams via 'Other Channels' and they were all at black and silence, while EPG 104 was carrying Ch 4 programmes. Not easy to figure out what EPG 104 had been mapped to, but it wasn't the regular LEMNUS streams !

Wasn't C4's Astra uplink on the roof of HFR back then ?

Loving today's Daily Mail, which reports that morale is at an all time low at Breakfast, as the move to Salford looms.

We used to have a legendary radio football pundit in Scotland called Jimmy Sanderson. He appeared on Radio Clydes weekly after match analysis on a Saturday.

Jimmy had a catchphrase: "Caller. That's absolute and total bunkum!" Often said when he fundamentally disagreed with the callers comment, dismissing it as rubbish, or "bunkum".

The moment I read that Daily Mail article, why did the late Jimmy Sanderson suddenly spring to mind??? He often does for me, in such circumstances.

Daily Mail = A Jimmy Sanderson word.

(by the way, Jimmy was the father of BBC News' Valerie Sanderson).

I especially liked how we were supposed to trust the "insider knowledge"of a reporter who spelt Susanna Reid's name wrong twice in the article.

Totally agreed. Sian is not back until wednesday....would be great if she was on the sofa tomorrow but I would imagine it will be Louise or Susanna.

Yep! More than happy if Louise Minchin gets Sian Williams' gig and Sally Nugent shows that she would be a great weekend presenter.

Sadly, it looks like a similar mistake will be made to when Kaplinsky was installed instead of Ms Williams - another airhead in Susanna Reid will get the top spot.

Possibly the first time Naga has presented with Bill?

I think they did a bank holiday a couple of years ago and I think as a fill in for Kate when she was ill.

Last time it happened was August 2009 - she's done three other programs with him before.

I'd be very interested to see if Naga or Kate present when the programme moves to Salford, with Kate only being relief, and Naga only working alternate weeks on WN it is a possibility if they are willing to make the trip north.
