I wonder if she'll be presenting the News at Six as well, or if it means George is doing both the six and ten.

Makes sense to use Kate on GMT given its UK broadcasts, but presumably she's completely unknown to most World viewers?

at least I know she used to do BBC Breakfast Laughing (and I'm from Hong Kong)

But otherwise, your average non-juskie viewer won't know

She probably won't do the six - they tend to use Sophie, Fiona or Mishal before they use Kate.

Also I wonder when Julia Somerville will start Saturday shifts. It's not Kate this evening so maybe tonight?

EDIT I was right!

Just tuned in and saw Julia there. What a blast from the past but a pleasant one. Good to see some older female newsreaders in primetime.

She is a thousand times better on the bulletins, she seemed to struggle on rolling news just like Peter Sissons - absolutely top class.

It would be great if she could do it every Saturday. I always feel the weekends need a more consistent range of faces, rather than News Channel presenters, since they insist they need 'faces'.

I have yet to see Julia on the bulletinn, but I'm expecting her to bring her experience to it on tonight's.

Mishal is the regular face for Sundays but there's no set presenter for Saturdays, like you said, it would be nice to see Julia as a regular face on Saturdays.
