The production company will approach the BBC, Sky etc., explain the role and the context of the newsreaders appearance, and request an opportunity to pre-record some content. If the broadcaster is happy with the way their brand and talent will appear, then a recording is scheduled, usually during down-time (so during Breakfast for the BBC News channel / BBC One studio for example), when the production company will come in and work with a director from BBC News to record links. Usually the BBC will use their own cameras and provide the production company with a recording, rather than the company bringing in their own camera crew, sound crew, lighting etc.
It's surprising how many films do this. A Norwegian film "Ulvenatten" made by SF (a Swedish Film production company) made extensive use of Joanna Gosling in a film about a TV studio being taken hostage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRzUEC3GnI8 (The youtube title page is a still of Joanna)

No idea what the role will be, maybe Chief Business Correspondent. I'm keeping an eye on Twitter. The exodus from ITV News continues! Penny Marshall, Laura Kuenssberg, Jonathan Munro...
I understand that star ITN reporter @lucymanning will soon announce her departure, to join BBC news (as I predicted a few weeks ago)

.... taking with her another behind the scenes exec Ed Campbell to be chief Ed Special Correspondents. (Presumably this is paving the way for John Simpson's exit from the Corp. which mustn't be too far off.)

Don't they tend to use graphics which aren't quite the same as the channel's normal set, so people don't think it's a real broadcast too?

More often it's because the graphics aren't the normal ones, rather than trying to hint it's not a real broadcast - only the people here would spot the difference anyway. Most people wouldn't realise it's not the real BBC News because they're using Arial instead of Swiss.

Quite enjoyed Adnan Nawaz on The World Today, he's pretty good with the interview. He shows some bit of humor too. Quite different from his overnights style.
Also in other changes, Rajesh Mirchandani is doing Impact and spotted David Eades doing Global yesterday while Jon is in Rio for the WC duration.
In addition, not sure if others are aware, but I just saw a clip where Carrie Gracie speaks pretty fluent Chinese to the Chinese premier. Didn't know her as a Chinese speaker previously.

Yes, Carrie Gracie speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese, which was noted in her farewell package from the News Channel

I'm assuming most of these new appointments are being made off the back of Jonathan Munro becoming Head of Newsgathering? If so, it does show a slight lack of imagination. He's got the whole of the world of British broadcast journalism to find recruits - and seems to be just cherry-picking some of his mates from ITN.
