Yes, in fact she presented the early evening shift yesterday, I believe.

She's very good. I hope she gets a more permanent slot soon.

I thought Phillipa Thomas was good on N24 anchoring the Friday 17:00 hour from King's Cross with Chris Eakin at a different location. Never seen her presenting, and the aston said "Special Correspondent" - I wonder if she was originally meant to hand back to Eakin but the line had dropped, the sound was dodgy when we did go back to him later.


Phillippa actually used to have a regular slot from 19:00 to 23:00 with Jon Sopel before Louise Minchin took over.... this is going back a couple of years...

A little error from Tim Willcox this evening when BBC2 joined News 24 at 00:10. He advised us News 24 viewers of people joining from BBC1 to the station. If only it was the right channel!

Looks like Kate Silverton has replaced Anna Jones.

Is Karin Giannone (sp?) permanantly taking over the 7 shift at weekends? If so, whats happening to Joanna Gosling?

I dont like this arrangement with the female presenters, I'd prefer Kate Silverton to go to the Friday and weekend evenings and get Joanna to return to the morning shift .

Moving Karin to the evening slot in the week is good idea though. She should stay there for a time.

I think BBC TWO just took a News Report from News 24.

After a noticeable pause Louise Minichin said "Good Afternoon" then quickly summarised the latest news on the Leed's raids etc, then said the next news will be on BBC ONE at 6.

I switched to ONE but they where in a kids prog, and TWO had just finished something as they had an ident into Ready Steady Cook, some persumably they took a report.

Would BBC TWO viewers recognize Louise Minchin?

Probably not. She has only really had exposure on BBC Radio 5 Live, and then, all you get is her voice.

I actually like Louise, she is definitely one of the better N24 female presenters. She is currently on with Tim "I can work every shift possible" Willcox...
