BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Did Dani Sinha presented Newsday alongside either Sharanjit or Ali today? If so, I would think this is her first Newsday appearance.

Well Sharanjit presented Asia Business at 3:30 on the NC so I think it was Sharanjit.

Dani has presented Newsday before however, not sure how many times but there is a clip in her showreel http://youtu.be/ETAYadA9W1o

So she did presented Newsday before, probably on rare occasions. Adnan, is tied up at the moment, with Babita likely on leave. Kasia Madera tweets she's doing WNT. Daniela Ritorto probably not available too, hence Dani takes up.

Karin on Impact now. I think Global is now on the same trend as Impact when Mishal left, ie. with almost erratic pattern of presenters popping up everyday.

James Coomerasamy shows up on 8am slot just now, another rarely appearing presenter. I supposed he's doing radio most of the time based on his Wikipedia article.

David Eades, not Kasia, did World News Today. He also did the 1pm, 5pm, 6pm hours on World News. (Fri 25th)

I thought that James Coomarasamy actually did the 13:00 bulletin, staying on after his morning stint.

Yes , James Coomarasamy presented the 13:00 bulletin and was one of many presenters across the BBC that did more than one bulletin today. Not sure whether this was due to the Commonwealth Games , Cost Saving or something else.

Also interesting that the Guardian reports Eddie Mair was offered it first but turned it down.

I think it's been cleverly worded; it could mean that he refused to be in the running.

My oversight, Kasia's tweet was actually from a week ago. Of interest to anyone, Kasia was the one who did the Newsday coverage on MH17 last week. There was no double headed presentation on that news, unlike during the Boston marathon bombing, Clive Myrie sat alongside Babita in Studio C and I believed they simulcast for World and NC.

How long as Reeta Chakrabarti been presenting the Six for? I don't catch it too often but having caught it once this week and once last week she's presented both - and IMO is far better than Sophie Raworth or Fiona Bruce.

Funny you should say that. I think she's dreadful.
