Nice to see Sara Coburn back presenting the business news on the NC this morning. Was she on 'Breakfast' as well, or was Simon on location so they needed someone to cover him later in the morning?

Rachel Horne is back on this afternoon too - certainly unusual to see Sarah Coburn on the channel, especially on a Thursday.

It is. She left Newsround to join Working Lunch as a reporter and then (heavily pregnant) joined the BBC News Channel as its business presenter for a few months in early 2009 (I think).

That sounds strange,she'll work for CNN for a month and then go to BBC? Shocked

I was really hoping CNNI would take her.

Suggests she's going to be working on an adhoc or freelance basis - not that that's bad. I just get a little confused by presenters on the BBC News Channel - more and more presenters seem to "join", but in reality it just means the existing presenters take more time off, it seems.

Good to see her on screen again though.

Emma Crosby on BBC News, in say within the next 5 years.

1. Replace Fiona Bruce on BBC News at Ten

2. Or Replace George Alagiah on BBC News at Six

3. Or Next years replacement for Sian Williams when BBC Breakfast moves.

Just Possibilities
