Does anyone know when the 8pm mini bulletin restarts?


Probably on Monday.

I believe that Weekend Breakfast is only going to be live from 0600 - 0630, 0700 - 0730, 0800 - 0930 with fillers between 0630 - 0700, 0730 - 0800 and 0930 - 1000 for a few weeks. The first of these being a full length Click at 0630. The need for a double header really isn't there. If something breaks Maxine could be called in early to start at 0900 leading up to 1300.

Why is this happening then? You say it's only temporary.

Yep, that is what I believe will be happening.

Not sure what a single presenter would have to do with the merry-go-round, which is why I said 'perhaps'!

And I didn't get the information from the RT.

Well well well, perhaps Sian isn't the second presenter of the 6.

Nick last night and Sophie tonight.

I think it's just there's no cover for 'Breakfast' - Louise on the 1 / News 24, Kate off doing Panorama and "other commitments" - all will probably be back to normal next week or the week after when the we lose the tail end of the Christmas rotas.

Sophie on the 10 and the 6 tonight - she didn't present the 1 o'clock news as well did she?! Confused

Yea, I've always liked Sophie's style - she really developed as a presenter on 'Breakfast' with Jeremy bewteen 2000 and 2002.

I still belive Sophie and Sian could make a great six o'clock news between them, and it would be even better if they presented 5 days plus the ten on fridays, but alternated each week between them with the other doing breakfast Mon-Thurs.

I suspect Kate will be taking over the one permanently anyway, as I really can't see the beeb moving her back to the 8pm! Besides, if she wants to be the next Kaplinsky she should take over Sophie's postition! Laughing

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I believe the six should move more towards the ten.

For example, have a brief, national-only 'still to come' rather than 'at 14 minutes past six, our headlines' followed by 20-30 seconds of 'to come'.
