The 0200-0500 slot on Monday mornings is Adnan's usually, not Mike's. Mike covers it on Tuesday-Friday mornings.

I see. I guess probably they are short on staff for Newsday then. Not that Adnan doesn't cover Newsday, it's just on odd occasions I observe. I noticed Adnan was covering the weekend with about the same time span too. It is also interesting that Adnan has coincidentally been breaking news on 2 flight incidents as of late, one the Glasgow copter crash and now the Malaysian lost flight. He always seem rather emotional or somber when relaying these news.

I've noticed Adnan present Newsday a few times now, and it's always been the Sunday night - Monday morning slot...

Which is what I can't stand about him. A newsreader's job is to read the news, not understand it. His inability to report on the likely deaths of ~300 people with an unaffected, chirpy demeanor is indisputably a sackable event.

I bet he wasn't even wearing a colourful tie, was he? Some people are beyond belief.

I noticed that yesterday morning. He should do a Schofe/Eamonn Holmes on it and go au natural.

Joanna Gosling did the 11am-2pm shift alone as she has done for the last couple of weeks. I think the 8:30AM-11:00AM was Simon McCoy & Annita McVeigh but wasn't paying much attention so that might be wrong.

Soapy is in Mumbai/Bombay for World News and Global, with Lucy Hockings occupying his chair at the moment on the Global set in London.


I think Lucy Hockings has really excelled over the last few months. In many respects, even better than a certain higher-profile predecessor. It's all a matter of taste, mind.

Yes 8:30-11:00 shift was Simon and Annita-Also as a follow on from the previous post, Jon Sopel was also spotted on the 2-5 shift from Mumbai/Bombay with Jane and Matthew in the studio.

Is Kasia on another program recently? Adnan has been doing Newsday mostly this week. I presume Babita might be on a week-long break.
