Will this new face be...
a) someone off News 24 on the One (can't see it being the 6 or 10 as George and Huw aren't pregnant)
b) a retired/semi-retired presenter coming back to cover?
c) someone totally new to BBC Television news

Simon Mayo maybe? Was mentioned in the Breakfast thread that he would be presenting it for a bit.

I hope not- Simon Mayo is simply fantastic on Five Live- his afternoon show is really the business.
I sincerely hope that any move to TV doesn't interfere with his ability to present his radio show- which he has been doing for coming on 7 years now.
I did however like the idea of simulcasting an hour of his radio show on News 24 (note not the other way round)- it already covers rolling news and sport as per News 24 but has great debates and interviews that I think could work really well for an hour to break up the continuous news cycle.

If it were like Julian Warricker, he'd do both.
That kind of defeats the object of a 24 hour TV News channel...

How? It sounds like it's got exactly the same content.
I don't think the fact that it is a TV News station really matters for most people. The people who watch news 24 are just as likely to read stories online and in the papers etc. They just want the news.

F**k**g b*ll*cks. If that was true why do we see networks pumping millions in to them, and new ones cropping up each year.

1. Worriker spent time on News 24 only when he presented "Worriker on Sunday" i.e. once a week rather than Mayo's daily weekday commitment (plus show on Radio 2)
2. Look at what Sky News have attempted to achieve with "appointment to view" programming- short breaks from repetitive rolling news (i.e. when no new stories are breaking) to bring interesting analysis. That's exactly what Mayo's radio show delivers.
And as for defying the ethos of News 24, I hope you realise that "film 24 with Mark Kermode" is a shortened (and inferior) version of the Mayo/Kermode film review slot that goes out on Five Live at 3pm on fridays. The TV version however lacks the unique "wittertainment" of the Mayo-Kermode partnership.

I personally hate Sky's appointment to view programmes and I think simulcasting a Radio show on TV would not work at all, and would make the schedule seem very disjointed. I just can't see what benefit it would bring - if you want the news interspersed with debate listen to Five Live, if you want the headlines go to News 24.
On a different note if Mayo does take over Breakfast I would be extremely suprised if he still continued on the radio. It would be quite a long working day seeing as his programme finishes at four and Breakfast presenters have to wake in the early hours.
