Arron Armstrong doing sport this afternoon on the News Channel. Has he been on before? He's normally on Sport today on World News.


If he appeared for the 2:15 headlines only and then disappeared, the BBC World duty sports presenter normally does that headline update - I think it's so the daytime NC presenter gets a decent amount of time for lunch.

Ian Pannell doing World News America tonight. The choice of presenters of this show can be so random at times!

He seems very competent and very natural, given that his role is as a reporter, not presenter. Impressive indeed.

If I'm not mistaken, I *think* he had a short stint of presenting the Washington end of the London/Washington BBC World news bulletin in the early-mid 2000s. You know, the one that was usually presented by Adrian Finighan and Mishal Husain? Either that or he presented a few times on BBC News 24. I can't be 100% certain but I just have a feeling that I've seen him presenting in the distant past. Hopefully someone with a better memory might be able to confirm/deny that.

You are spot-on, as always! He was involved in the Mishal/Adrian programme when Mishal was off.

I remember him from the promo where he named some cities. Cairo, Shanghai, Soul etc.

A pleasure to see the fantastic Karin Giannone on the News Channel here in the UK. And also nice to see that we're all on first name only terms with this 'Tim' person. Wink

Filling in for the News at Ten delay due to SPOTY - surprised they aren't filling it with the countdown music.

EDIT: And at 10:07pm they have! Looks like news will start in next 2/3 minutes.

Adam Parsons newsreading on BBC World this morning, and Maryam Moshiri doing the business news. I have really grown to like Adam's style and wish he was on BBC World more often. He reminds me - in many ways - of Adrian Finighan, who also had (has) a unique style. Serious, yet friendly and somehow imposing at the same time.

Did anyone happen to notice who did The World Today slot this morning? Missed it!
