Has Tim Franks replaced James Pearce as the 'main' sports correspondent? I know he's been appearing as a sports correspondent for a while now, but he seems to be appearing on BBC 1 bulletins more and more frequently since Pearce left.


Surely Dan Roan is the main sports correspondent? I know James Pearce had the Olympics correspondent title and made more appearances in the build up to 2012 but I always thought Dan to be in the more senior position.



Tim Franks has been a sports correspondent for a few years. He also presents Newshour on the World Service which must take up quite a lot of his time.


Indeed he did most of the coverage for Wiggo's Tour De France victory as the others were preparing for the Olympics.

Sorry if this has been posted recently, but I just noticed someone asked Susanna Streeter on Twitter about the business slot being axed under the DQF plans and whether a final decision had been made - her response: "There will be one dedicated business correspondent but no dedicated biz bulletins especially in evenings".

I wonder who said correspondent(s) will be?

(I asked her BTW!) I guess the changes will take effect once they move into NBH. As Jane Hill said on Twitter, only a few weeks now! Can't wait.

Situation with the business is not completely clear though, I agree, House.

Carole Walker presented Monday & Tuesday but I can't remember who with.

Monday was actually Tim Willcox & Martine Croxall! (Tim did the 11am shift with Carole)

Tuesday was Tim & Carole, Wednesday was Simon & Carole, and yes today was Simon & Carrie as usual.

I beg your pardon and how very dare you!!!! That notion is almost worthy of lashings of ginger beer!
