Sian Williams on the News at One this afternoon - making her first appearance since Breakfast.
Yes, isn't it interesting that when a presenter decides they don't want to move up north, the BBC finds them another position so they don't have to. I wonder how accommodating management were to the production staff who didn't want to go? Not very, I imagine. Redundancy was the only option for them.

Don't be silly she's just relief... Louise Minchin has gone to Salford so cant cover it and Kate Silverton is still on maternity leave.
Indeed - it was in that press release that she would be would be a 'key member' of the BBC newsreading team, so naturally she is covering bulletins. Suspect she'll cover all three weekday bulletins.

The BBC wouldn't want to lose Sian. She'd have had no choice but to jump ship to ITV, C4, Sky, wherever, and the move would no doubt have been heavily publicised which would make the BBC look bad. The fact she's staying in London has been publicised enough!
The fact of the matter is that those in the background aren't noticed and there's not going to be much bad press about them not being re-employed elsewhere. Plus, I'm sure that anybody that the bosses wanted to keep who didn't move to Salford have probably been accommodated elsewhere...
