Will The Andrew Marr Show bulletins on a Sunday also come from Salford, with the female Breakfast presenter continuing to cover them?


I asked the question previously and was advised that the news will be read by someone in London.

That's something I would like to know aswell! I would presume they would come from London with another presenter, perhaps Maxine could start a little earlier? Or maybe the BBC London presenter?

Theres no reason for the regional presenter to be there that early surely on a Sunday?
Sunday Politics London is prerecorded surely, so Im guessing the regional presenter wouldn't be on site until lunchtime at earliest, depending on what time the evening bulletin is on?

Who was alongside Louise Minchin on Breakfast this morning?


Jon Kay.

And by the way, these questions are getting really tiresome. If you have to keep a record of such things, can't you invest in a PVR?


Or look in the Radio Times!

Radio Times isn't always so accurate. They advertised Susanna Reid as presenting yesterday's Breakfast with Charlie, but Louise ended up doing it!

Just out of curiosity, but what do people do with these records? I could vaguely understand it if they came up with some sort of infographic at the end of the year ("did you know Charlie spent more time on the left of the breakfast sofa than any other presenter in 2010"), but it just seems like collecting data for the sake of it if it's never used.

Can't believe it's already Sian Williams' last week of Breakfast! I love the Bill & Sian pairing and will be a shame to see it go forever!

Indeed. PVR...VHS...alarm clock, anything other than just repeating the same post over and over. And if you really have to, keep it to the Rota thread which covers all BBC News.

I have made a point about this before and many people at the time was in agreement with me that asking this is just stupid, the poster is part of a website that collects the list of who presents easch programme, but this poster never seems to be able to check for himself, if he has put himself forward to do it he should do it. In my opinion this poster should get a warning and banned if he keeps doing this.

At the moment our television is being reinstated. It's sort of a bad time, because over these next few days I am editing the website that archives all the bulletins and shifts on BBC News. That is why I'm so inquisitive. I promise that in the New Year I will allocate my posts to other matters that do not concern the presenters and the shifts.

As far as I can see he hasn't kept to this promise, also all of his 32 posts has been just to ask who is on a bulletin or news channel. Tiresome

It'd make sense for Breakfast presenter to do it really, in fact it'd work better than now, as both presenters would be able to stay on until 9am rather than one leaving 15 mins early, a quick change in the backdrop/some sort of green screen to resemble the national newsroom and they would be ready to the Andrew Marr headlines at 9:01am.
