Nicholas Owen on his own this hour (1600-1700) - was this the case all afternoon?

Louise was on with him earlier but disappeared rather rapidly just before 3.

I've been working with N24 on in the background the last couple of days and its been very repetitive with interviews and two ways being repeated much more than usual. Hopefully its just to give correspondents a chance to shelter from the cold rather than a sign of cost cutting, it is very drab seeing the two ways from three hours ago still being repeated. Nick Owen is also completely incapable of correctly reading out the website address, its almost like he's on loop too.

Louise has been on the '1' all week, so I suspect her hours were up for the week. Interestingly, Nick did the '5' as well, but Annita did Film 24.

And the 'Film 24 with Mark Kermode ' seen in the titles was actually with Andrew Collins!

Yea they seem incapable of changing the name. I've noticed that on many occasions when there's been a different reviewer other than Mark.

Re: Nick Owen: This afternoon he kept saying '.. on our special US Elections page log onto err.. (long pause) bbc.co/news'. Rather annoying, he didn't correct himself.

Good to see presenters being used well. Louise did the 1 O'Clock News, and was on from 2-3pm on News 24.Nick seems to be used quite alot recently for releif, I thought he would have said no.

Slightly off topic, I hope nobody minds. I was just wondering how people think the News 24 audience differs throughout the day. Very early mornings are probably people who are getting up for work. A large share of the audience between 9 - 5 must be people watching at work but when it comes to the evenings how would you imagine the audience to be? I can't see families settling down for an hour or two of News 24. Is it likely to be older professionals perhaps?

Remember a huge proportion of viewers during the day might be 'housewives', the unemployed or retired, pregnant women or nightworkers.

EDIT: And don't forget freelances/ those who work from home or people off sick!

What demographic watches post-10 O'clock? Surely the ten and newsnight have it covered?
