Karin Giannone, and an incredibly talented reader/journo at that. A bit wasted on the shifts at the moment.

I agree with you there, James. I watched her for about 30 minutes earlier this evening, and was very impressed with her. She'd make a good relief presenter for any of the daytime females on News 24 - not overnight!

Actually the overnight shift is very important - those are the bulletins that are seen on PBS across the States and they want excellent presenters. Remember the likes of Jane Hill and Joanna Gosling all started on overnights and actually had a big fan base in America because of it. Overnights actually gets a bigger audience than any of the daytime News 24 shifts because of the World audience as well - so she is certainly not wasted on overnights.

Interesting to see they had different end caps on the titles this morning.
Instead of displaying BBC NEWS then BBC WORLD at the bottom of the ribbons it displayed BBC WORLD then BBC NEWS at the bottom of the ribbons!

Rather unusual occurrence on Breakfast a few minutes ago. In the middle of a LIVE with Jules, it looks like the N24 gallery decided to run through all of the supers lined up for the next half hour. It went through each of the two-line name/descriptions, headlines, and coming up, while underneath all of this the standard Breakfast graphics showed the clock, LIVE bug and location strap.

Oops.

I think Alastair Yates should have a co-presenter through the night. He must get very lonely all on his own!

Talking about overnight shifts - Jake Lynch has become much better IMO. Does anyone else think so?
