BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

The agenda and news value of the story seemed, to me, to justify wall-to-wall coverage throughout. The presence of so many World leaders in one place alone being significant. A huge event elsewhere would have been needed to pull away at any point.

I'd say they were broadcasting one of the most significant news stories of the last few years.

All we've been told is early next year, so early this year. She's been on maternity leave. With all that's going on in Europe, it's going to be some transition from Gavin to Katya. Gavin has been phenomenal in the job, most underrated and very intelligent in his analysis. I know Katya will have big shoes to fill, but I'm sure she'll more than take to the challenge. She's produced great reports and documentaries before, so I'm in no doubt events in Europe will really show her best - she is a very diverse journalist after all.

After presenting todays BBC News at One, Clive Myrie continues today with his late shift from 2100-0030

Who's the young woman presenting the sport on BBC News this morning (Monday)? I didn't catch her name at the start.

Aly Rowell - formerly of Wales Today.

An enlightening and prompt reply. Thanks.

An announcement is expected next week on the role of Education Editor for BBC News.

With Penny Marshall now back at ITV, I suspect they'll go for an internal candidate, given the union pressure on management for recruiting outsiders.

Has anything been said about a business programme being fronted by Sally Bundock and Ben Thompson jointly on the NC and WN at the slot when the NC takes over from Breakfast?

It was announced in the press release for Victoria Derbyshire's new show. Starts in April on World News and the NC after the election

Thanks! Sounds good! Is this different from the programme announced in July in the cuts press release?

A new face anchoring BBC World News this weekend: Ben Bland. Never seen him before in my life.
