I've just noticed the coming up menus at the top of the hour on the News Channel, which Jane used to voiceover, now have somebody else voicing over (a voice I've never heard before). Really hope she hasn't left.
That's interesting because its always seemed to me that Jane is the more senior of the two on the channel.
Quote:
Dateline's not exactly a flagship programme and Carrie's return was at around the same time that other changes meant Jane started do more BBC1 bulletins.
I know, I just remember that after Carrie returned, she handled pretty much all of the broadcasts for Dateline, until she went off air for most of 2018. /shrug
@AlexS Possibly, though from what I have seen, Shaun has tended to be "primary" presenter (he is the only one who gives a lengthy introduction which includes the description of the programme), with Carrie/Jane being relief (usually because Shaun is NC presenter when they record Dateline London live).
Re George: Glad to see he will be returning, hopefully it is a permanent return
Each post is making less and less sense. Shaun has regularly presented the news channel shift during which dateline is filmed and dateline itself on the same day including on some of the busiest news weeks of the past few months so to suggest the others cover him because he is on the news channel is demonstrably nonsense.
It's absolutely pointless to try and work out any kind of rota now as there are very few slots that have a main presenter rather than a pool of regular presenters as this gives much more flexibility.

I have no idea what you’re actually trying to say, yes Shaun regularly presented in the saturday morning shift like you said, but when Carrie returned (both in 2018 and this year), most of the morning Saturday shift has been Carrie. Ill not reply further because further posts will probably be seen as off-topic
Brilliant news about George Alagiah. I had assumed he wasn't going to come back, good for him!
