No. He appears very much randomly on World, so this will be his first ever fixed slot, albeit temporary for twelve weeks.

I thought the time for the 90 second update came by reducing the length of the BBC News at 6/regional bulletins at 6.30pm. Hence the reason BBC1 runs early after these until 8pm.
If this is the case then it doesn't actually make a difference to achieving the news quota. It does target a different audience to the Six and Ten. I also think I read that the BBC 3 60 Seconds team are involved in writing the bulletin - as a result there is less to be gained from scraping it - compared to the daytime updates which could mean one post is saved.
Okay, I have to take issue with a few points.
Also, that 90 second update helps with their primetime news commitment that they've made. It might not seem like much, but it adds up to 6.5 hours a year.

What would also save money is using Ellie Crisell on the 60 seconds as well. Then there is no need for the 60 seconds presenter. Since Riz Lateef seems to not present London News on Fridays but still does 8pm she could do the Friday updates too.

I don't think Ellie and Riz are what BBC Three are wanting for there viewers. Too hardcore, where as BBC three is light at times.

Ellie Crisell? Hardcore??
I think the BBC may consider Ellie Crisell somewhat hardcore, given she presents part of BBC1's evening news schedule and makes occasional appearances presenting the main news on the News Channel. She even presented the main BBC1 lunchtime news once as part of a NC simulcast IIRC.
The reason I believe this is because you wouldn't catch the likes of Tasmin Lucia-Khan, Sam Naz or Matt Cooke presenting the main news on the News Channel would you (even though they all presented Entertainment 24), all of whom have presented 60 Seconds at some point or another in the past. They did make an exception with James Dagwell, although you never saw him on the main news (on the NC) during the day.

I dont think their choice of presenters has anything to do with them being 'hardcore'. Its not a particularly big job, and i'm pretty sure the only reason Kate Silverton did it was because they didnt have anything else for her to do after Sophie Raworth came back from her maternity leave.
There are a lot of very talented people working in the BBC Regions who could run rings around the people in London, i wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them as not 'hardcore', as you put it, just because you never saw them present a BBC One Bulletin or on BBC News.
Tasmin Lucia Khan did the BBC Interactive for years and then went on to Daybreak's news segment, and Matt Cooke worked for Midlands Today before moving to 60s, and is now at BBC London News. So I would say both of them have enough 'Hardcore' news experience to present 60s of news. More to the point, anybody could present that 90s teabreak, and they don't even need to be a journalist. Bring Moira Back, she's a million times more credible than the Squeaky-Mouse-Lady, who I'm pretty sure was only ever on the NC when they couldn't get anybody else. You don't need journalistic credibility if you've got gravitas, and Moira's got gravitas to spare.

I missed World News America this hour, but I'll keep a look out, its back on at 2300GMT and let you know if she's presenting today, I would assume that like the Iowa Caucus she will stay on air until the result if she is in New Hampshire.
EDIT:
Katty Kay is presenting Live coverage from Manchester, New Hampshire.
Mark Mardell is in New Hampshire as well.
I wonder if we can expect Katty Kay again on Newsday again tonight for the New Hamshire primaries?

I think they've done that before (outside his house)
Is there a particular reason Robert Peston is broadcasting from a residential street in "North London"?
It's as if they've sent a camera to his house.
