5AM - 8AM, Then 8.45AM - 17:00PM - is more like 12 hours , not 7.

Yes , The News Channel only has one business presenter a day. Not in most jobs but its far longer than the majority of newsreaders work.

So no she hasn't, she's been presenting about 5 minutes every hour. Plenty of opportunity for breakfast, lunch and other breaks, unlike some of the people working today who will have had to scrounge five minutes together to go and grab something.

Is it? Remember people don't walk in the doors and straight into the studio and start presenting, and they don't put their coat on the moment they come off-air. How any of you claim to know the normal working hours of the newsreaders is beyond me.

Presumably she was in work this morning from about 3am, allowing her 120 minutes to get prepared for BBC World, then as posted she moved directly over to the News Channel.

She may only be presenting for 5-10 minutes per hour, but that doesn't mean that she's sitting around twiddling her thumbs for the rest of the time - she will be working with her producer to prepare each live bulletin.

Let's be honest 3am to 5pm is a long day by anyone's standards.
