Sundays are definatly must-watch fixtures on N24, Tim Willcox, Alistair Yates and plenty of long countdowns


Agree - good line up - Yates' authoratative, yet laid back, presentation suits Sunday well.

Alastair Yates is on N24 on Sunday? What shift does he do?
He has also been presenting on World sundays 7pm-00.30am London time for at least a month, probably longer.

He fills Hayton's old shift of around 1-6 IIRC (and there's a high probabilty that I'm wrong..)

But just reflecting some of the comments already made, Yates is a great presenter and definatly a little gem!

Apologies, I know he did stop doing his World shift at first, but he must have carried on with it again. All the better for us viewers around the world!
