BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

He was supposed to be doing the late shift anyway. He also did the earlier shift as a last minute replacement for Maxine Mahwhinney, who is ill. (according to her Twitter.)

That explains Annita Mc Veigh on Saturday daytime then.

I'm sure Maxine did the 12pm simulcast though on the NC and BBC One?

Couldve sworn I saw Annita on a different shift to normal!

She did it the previous week - it was Maxine on Saturday

Tonight's 6:30-10pm shift was presented by Matthew Amroliwala & Annita McVeigh.
I do love these kind of weeks when someone like Matthew (who fronts the 11am shift) goes to do evenings... tonight reminded me of how great these two broadcasters are together and made me wonder why don't they maybe get this new rota in:

0830-1100 Simon McCoy & Carrie Gracie (Mon: Martine Croxall)
1100-1400 Jane Hill (Fri: Tim Willcox)
1400-1700 Joanna Gosling (Fri: Julian Worricker)
1700-1800 Ben Brown (Fri: Julian Worricker)
1900-2200 Matthew Amroliwala & Annita McVeigh (Fri: Clive Myrie & Sophie Long)
2230-0100 Chris Eakin (Fri: Adam Parsons)

Remember...fantasy rotas/schedules are not allowed anymore.

hmmm I think they would be more likely to have single head first thing in the morning and in the evening...

There's nowhere near that much single-headed broadcasting in the next schedule.

Has there been any more information released yet on the new rotas ahead of the move to NBH?

Not publicly.

Interesting how much Carole Walker is on at the moment, I wonder if she's on secondment to the NC while they move to NBH? I would have thought otherwise we'd see more of the likes of Sue Thearle and Ellie Crisell filling in the gaps.
