Why do you say that?
I get the impression the Editor would like to do that - considering how marginalised Gordon appears on NWT now?
But I don't think the chemistry is great between them.
She is like Skeletor!

I just saw an advert on BBC 1, didn't catch the whole thing... but it said something like "we will be presenting".

I agree with your comments, I think it would be better to ditch them both and bring in Stuart Flinders and Annabel Tiffin

Interesting!
For months now the amount Gordon has done has decreased while Diane's role has become more prominet.
But she doesn't have the gravitas to carry out hard news.
Unless they are splitting it hard news Gordon, soft news DIane.
All an unseemy mess.
Get back to the quality programme there ws a year ago!

I've seen th promo's. Very strange I think. Why have they started producing them now? Dwindling viewing figures.

Anyway, theres no indication that they'll be presenting together. It's just got shots of Dianne and Gordon watching themselves on NWT and they're saying, 'if I wasn't a presenter on NWT, I'd definately be watching it'

Probably, as they are on the decline.
Granada have been promoting GR every Sunday for a few months and maybe they thought it was a good idea and copied it?

I wonder if they'll be doing this in every region, as I have just seen South Today's Sally Taylor doing one in exactly the way described above.

Yep, they've got one for BBC London with Emily Maitlis doing the same thing.

It clearly is!
Sign of the need by BBC Regional News to remind people they are there!
