Jon does cover the One sometimes before he begins his normal shift on Global.

Other times he has come in on a Friday to present the One when a Global isn't broadcast

Here's a question I hope someome can answer.

Why don't the likes of Fiona Bruce, George Alaghia, Sophie Raworth and Mishal Husain present any of the shifts on the news channel? I remember back in 2006/2007 the likes of Sophie Raworth did cover on News 24 for a time, but it seemed to just stop. Was this a trial or was there a presenter shortage? Surely if one of the above were scheduled to present the Ten, they could also present the Five?

I assume it's all down to contracts. Don't forget George does GMT on World, Mishal does Today on Radio 4 and Fiona Bruce does lots of other presenting projects.

You're going a long way back there. Since it has been single headed its very rare to see anyone other than George, Fiona or Huw on the 6 or 10.
