BBC News 24: 'Day-to-day' Presenter & Rota discussion

I'm sorry but you're not telling me this is all coincidence...

Ben Brown on afternoon shift, Jon Sopel on evening
Ben Brown on late morning (11-2), Matthew Amwroliwala on evening

I just don't believe they'd be moving around so much, what with so many other presenters being available (such as Chris Eaklin, Ben Geoghan, Nick Owen [though shifts running out] and oh, what about that Tim Wilcox?

I suspect they want Ben off the evening, and can actually see him moving to relief/ weekend and Nick Owen becoming a regular...

I think we've got to be looking at some sort of schedule change with Ben moving about so much. I wouldn't mind Matt and Ben swapping too much, Matt is about right for evenings.

Ben Brown back in Kenya today - is it really necessary??

and we have a doubler again by (Need I Say?)

Workaholic Wilcox then I take it

Good to see Charlie on News 24 tonight - did he present 'Breakfast' this morning? And is he down to do it tomorrow?

No Charlie was on yesterday with Bill today. I would have expected Charlie on tomorrow although if he's on tonight that will be unlikely.

That's what I was thinking - unless they did a swap - Charlie does one of Bill's days and then Bill does Friday morning as Charlie was needed for News 24 the night before.

What a great pairing between Simon McCoy and Carrie Fisher. Good bit of banter going on this morning, seem to work naturally together and this comes across making it a really watchable shift. I suppose they can get away with a biot more as its a bit of a 'softer' shift? ir not an appointment to watch time like 1, 6 10 etc..

Who will be fronting the coverage of the state funeral of Jeremy Beadle?
