BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

New sports presenter on the News Channel this evening? Tim Hague, never seen him before.

He's usually a sports reporter, I believe.

Also, asked when new presenter rotas will be announced, the News Channel controller, Sam Taylor tweeted: 'there will be more detail coming into the weekend'. So let's try to hold our horses until then!

Hope Chris still appears in the studio sometimes, even if only replacing Clive as a relief presenter.

I agree, it would be a real shame if he's dropped completely as a presenter.

I can't imagine them dropping Chris entirely since they're already very short on male relief presenters.

Perhaps Mr Eakin's catchphrase will change to "We'll hello there a very good afternoon to you?"

Well Chris has just popped up in a very poorly lit N8.

And he's been there since the channel's launch, along with Jane and Matthew.

According to wiki Simon McCoy spent a couple of years presenting with Emily Maitlis on Sunrise - does anyone know what their chemistry was like? I suspect they'd make a good pairing on Mondays (assuming Emily doesn't stay on afternoons on Mondays).

Despite only relying for the most part on the less prominent presenters today, Huw popped-in to the 10.

I would imagine it would have been comedy gold...Simon is usually good for a laugh or two.
