It's really, really great to see Kasia Madera presenting a prime-time shift on the News Channel.
It's not really 'prime-time' though, is it? If anything Newsday probably reaches a larger, more significant audience.
Surely the only audience that matters is Dan S himself?
@House: You're probably right. When I said 'prime-time', I was merely referring to the UK audience. Obviously I didn't take Newsday's international audience into account.
@Pete: As I said above, I was actually referring to the UK audience as a whole, not just myself. And if I irritate you that much, I apologise. Although if you can stop with the sarcastic comments, that would be wonderful. Thankyou.

Amelia has tweeted that she'll be known as "Amelia Harris-Lindsay" on-air when they return from honeymoon.

So was I. They don't usually regard weekday evenings on the News Channel as 'prime-time' as audience figures are often decreased from daytime, probably as there's good television on at the time. Comparatively, 9pm on BBC 1 would be prime time.
Comparatively, Newsday is likely considered an important timeslot on BBC World, given the larger audience it would (presumably) reach and its Asian morning timeslot.

I'm surprised there's been no mention here that the NC was being anchored on location yesterday evening from Capel Bangor (one of the places which got flooded) by Rhun Ap Iorwerth, and Martine Croxall in the studio. He was captioned as a Wales Correspondent.
Unusual - but refreshing - to see someone local being used for presenting duties.

It is indeed - I remember a while ago (think it will have been December 2010) that we saw Harry Gration appear on the News Channel billed as a 'News Correspondent', in Sheffield because of snow disruption.
He did a great job, as he always does on location, but not long later was replaced with some mystery face who knew nothing about the area, nor did he know anything about what was going on around him. It wasn't like he had left because he was there for the later lunchtime Look North bulletin. Don't understand the BBC's logic sometimes!

What a mouthful.
Bad as Lizzie Greenwood Hughes!
Don't some of these female reporters keep their maiden name for broadcasting purposes?

Bloody Hell! Is Robert Peston always as dramatic as that???? Don't get to see much of the man, but have to praise Tanya Beckett for keeping a straight face throughout those histrionics.
Actually, rather entertaining.

No that's just his normal self. Very dramatic and makes every little thing seem like it's the end of the world. Hopeless on screen, always pausing and um-ing and er-ing. I wish he moved on and the BBC could find a better business editor.

Completely disagree! Yes, he is not a natural on screen - but he is a great journalist and always adds a bit of life to the story.
