BBC News 24

I think they could use the right hand area a lot more imaginatively.

For example they should use it for breaking news: the presenter at the desk could, at the end of a report or whatever, say, "Over to Jane for some breaking news..." (breaking news sting and over to the RH area); the presenter standing up would give it more urgency; they could have a breaking news animated graphic on the screen, and later a correspondant at the scene if possible; then they could say, "More as we get it, but for now, back to Jon..."

Obviously this wouldn't be suitable all the time, but for reasonably large breaking stories would be very effective.

No it wouldn't - move cameras, get a presenter to unplug, walk, plug in again, navigate through another computer, then do the big urgent breaking news??? not practical at all. And breaking news is best handled by two presenters - one talks whilst the other one reads/is told more on the story. It wouldn't work if they were in two separate places.

Following on from the list of ITV News Channel presenters in the ITV News thread, I’ve attempted to create a list of News 24 presenters. This has been slightly complicated by the use of simulcasts on BBC One (i.e. Breakfast) and BBC World (i.e. The World Today), so what I’ve done is only listed news presenters who have presented from the N24 studio since the relaunch in late 2003. Please feel free to correct and add to my list:

1. Adrian Finighan
2. Akhtar Khan
3. Alastair Yates
4. Anna Jones (until July 2005)

And to prove you don't care not only do you reply but you bump the thread up.

Recognised most of the names above. Well done for compiling that list. Didn't know that Sharon Grey has been presenting for News 24 though. Is she still there?

James

As far as I know, she just did some cover during the summer holidays last year.

Mike Embley

Christia Ackroyd
Fiona Trot

When did these two present, and was it overnight?

Christa Ackroyd has done a couple of breakfast shifts and Fiona Trot did a few afternoon shifts around six months ago.
