Have either of you actually thought that she may be quite happy to work?

Jane is regularly on over Christmas and New Year. In 2000 she fronted the overnight BBC News version of 2000 Today which was going out on News 24/World.

Indeed, she can't hate it that much as she's pretty much always in over the festive season, certainly was last year.

Firstly, it was never really 'announced', but apparently Joanna/ Ben/ James Dagwell said she would only be gone til March, so I doubt they'll get any one person to replace her.
I've always thought Karin was good, shame she's hardly on during the daylight now Rachels back.
Not sure but she did the morning of the 10th when Kate first moved to the 8pm, then disappeared for a while with mainly Rachel Schofield and Maxine Mawhinney did it. However on Xmas Day I saw a new Our World with Carrie inside China, so that's probably where she disappeared to. Since then all the shifts have been a bit messed up because of holidays etc.
I'd be very suprised if they don't give it to Carrie however, not only is she very good but she seems to be the friday and relief presenter, so making her full time presenter would also mean no need to pay for a relief anymore nor find Carrie another job. Plus her onscreen chemistry with Simon is the best I've seen in ages!
On another point, am I right in saying it looks like Kate's on the One permanently. Take the hints from all the articles 'in March she will take over presenting duties on the One O'Clock News' - surely saying will cover for Sophie would be better. Sophie generally takes a while off for maternity, and none of the articles suggest Kate will return to the 8pm after March, and her website says she will only present it till March.
Also will Louise be the reief presenter over this period on the one? Who would present the 8pm?

On a different note when it was announced that Joanna was going on maternity leave did anyone say who was replacing her?

I have a feeling it may be Karin, though I could be completely wrong. I've seen her twice in the evening in the past week and I think she'd be good.

Has Carrie been presenting rather than Kate in the mornings? Can't see the morning shift very often, so I don't know who's been on.

I don't know why. Surely he'd be better placed in the UK so they'd have someone with knowledge this side of the pond.
They've already appointed Justin Webb as editor, given Matt Frei an increased role and also have loads of other reporters out there.
Perhaps they'll have Sopel anchoring in the morning and afternoon on News 24 with Frei taking over in the evening and early morning (so he could still anchor WNA).

Just seen a report on the Iowa vote from Jon Sopel on News 24, so it looks like he's going to be there for the Presedential race. Good choice I think.

The reason there are so many journalists in the USA is because the BBC have many outlets to cater for - BBC One News, News 24, BBC World, Radio 4, Radio 5 Live, BBC World Service etc. One journalist can't do all of those.

BBC are getting the helicopter hours in early this year, the Royal Marsden fire, the disruption on the west coast mainline and the ship grounded off Dover all covered today!
The first and last are obviously understandable (assuming the shots of the ship weren't from the coastguard), although quite what benefit anyone got from seeing passengers getting on a bus from the sky is debatable, apart from pissing off the passengers as they watched the chopper fly back to London! The headline sequence just there also included a quite pointless panoramic helicopter shot from Kenya - obviously not the Beeb's copter that one..
