Why is Simon McCoy the only presenter to be on News 24 consistently at the moment? Today we've not had Matthew or Jane, Louise or Jon (though because he's in America) and they've not replaced Kate Silverton.

Tim Wilcox and Nick Owen seem to be on every weekday at the mo instead of at weekends or odd shifts here and there. And Emily was on the One today - clearly Jane and Louise are both busy...

Oh and Rachel Schofield has just popped up on News 24 from nowhere - didn't know she can teleport!


He presented The Politics Show live from Scotland yesterday.
Who Jon Sopel?

Well unless you meant another Jon, then yes! Laughing

Did Rachel do a double shift today? I'm sure she was on between 2 and 5 with Nick Owen and now with Ben (7-10)

Ben Geoghagen making one of his occasional appearances on News 24 now, good to see someone different.

Seems Rachel and Annita are sharing the job of covering Joanna at the moment.

Indeed it is nice to see Ben on News 24 again. He is a very good presenter in my opinion and he works well on his own or with a co-presenter. Some of you may remember he used to be a regular weekday morning presenter.

Just noticed that Ben and Jon have swapped shifts, with Ben on earlier and Jon on now. Second week that Ben's been on early now. I hope this is only temporary, I prefer the two in their normal slots, Ben and Louise don't go.

Does Ben wear contacts?

Maybe. I've seen him with glasses on a couple of times.

Nicholas Owen deputising for Chris Eakin on the midnight shift?? He's proving to be really versatile!!

Nick Owen's burning through his contracted hours at a rate of knots...he's got a lot of time off to look forward too before too long, I'd suspect...

Just seen here that Matt Amroliwala has joined the Crimewatch team. Didn't see the programme, but was he any good? His profile's a bit out of date on the Crimewatch page though, as it says he's still presenting with Maxine Mawhinney and Liz Pike! Does anyone know what happened to Liz , she just seemed to disappear?

Ben Brown has swapped shifts yet again, this time with Amroliwala. I hope we aren't going to see Ben on mornings and Simon on evenings next week, I don't think that would be a good move at all.
