Yes she is now, but Tim was on his own at the 7pm TOTH junction

Stuck in traffic, maybe?

She hosted a discussion on the stools with a few guests, not long after the TOTH, about the increased cost of living - I imagine this is where she was.

Think they have to be in a long time before they start their shift anyway...they need to do all their prep so they know about all the stories, interviews etc.

Thank god Im not the only one who thinks its crazy thinking a news presenter/reader just walks in before their shift. Of course they have to prepare!

They are paid a bomb so they jolly well should be there for hours!

I didn't see but that does sound ususual

It seems as though Jon's NC shifts have been going backwards this week - he did 7-10 on Monday, 2-5 yesterday, and now 11-2 today!

I've seen Jon and Jane on (then N24) only once before and they had great chemistry then, but sadly there didn't seem to be time for any today. Hopefully if Jane presents an afternoon shift at some point they'll get a better opportunity.

Jane does tend to stick to her slot i've noticed. The main movers are Jon, Matthew and Ben. Does Louise still do News Channel work? I tend to be out for that slot and haven't seen it in yonks!

Louise was on a couple of afternoons last week - her appearances are pretty rare now though.
