BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jul/01/james-landale-bbc-deputy-political-editor



Since when did it include leading PMQs? Am I missing something? Seems the presenters announce it, if you like, then we see it, then a randomly chosen political correspondent talks from Westminster and interviews MPs about it. Or is the random bit just because James has been off for so long while undergoing treatment?



As pointed out James was noted as 'Deputy Political Editor' while in L'Aquilla today so presumably he's now continuing in that role as of now?

Personally I think Hugh Pymm should have become Deputy Economics Editor when Stephanie Flanders returned, but oh well.

Oh and by the way congratulations James - well deserving of the role imo.

Who is the replacement for Peter Sissons because Maxine Mawhinney has been presenting since 10am so she it looks like she is presenting both shifts now.

EDIT: Sophie Long is now presenting at 4pm

Clive Myrie?

He's the replacement for Chris Lowe

At the moment Sophie Long is doing his shift...

Tim Willcox presented the whole shift from 1pm last week.
So todays presenters are looking like:

News Channel:
10:00am - 4:00pm Maxine Mawhinney
4:00pm - 7:00pm Sophie Long
7:00pm - 12:00am Clive Myre & Anita McVeigh

BBC One:
Breakfast: Charlie Stayt (he's presented every show since tuesday!) & Susanna Reid
Lunchtime Bulletin: Maxine Mawhinney
Evening Bulletin: EDIT: Riz Lateef
Late Bulletin: Riz Lateef

Riz Lateef is currently doing the 6pm bulletin

I just caught the BBC 1 News tonight. All 3 presenters were female none of which I had seen before anyone know if they are new and what there names are. Very nice main news presenters I have to say, lovely smile at the end etc

I see that Tim Willcox has been sent out to the Afghanistan Soldiers Repatriation at Wootton Bassett today.

On BBC World this evening, I heard the following titles for the first time:

Orla Guerin - Pakistan Correspondent
Caroline Wyatt - Defence Correspondent
Quentin Somerville - China Correspondent

Where has Barbara Plett gone?

Caroline Wyatt and Quentin Sommerville have been in those positions for some time now, though as I posted a couple of pages back James Reynolds has now left Beijing, making Sommerville the main correspondent for the moment.

As for Barbara Plett, I don't think she has a new posting yet as Guerin has only just arrived in Pakistan - I imagine she'll turn up somewhere soon - James Coomerasamy has recently left Washington and a new Europe Editor is needed, so I'd expect quite a few correspondents will move around this Summer.

Will they definitely find a replacement for James Reynolds, or just have Quentin Somerville based in Beijing?
