Clive presented the 6 today I think.

Clive presented both the 1 and the 6.
But considering he spends at least as much time away from the evening shift (on assignment and BBC1) as on it and is often covered by freelancers it would probably be more cost effective for him to be replaced...

Well more effective to replace the freelancers which is hopefully what they've done. Effectively a regular presenting slot without kicking anyone out of theirs.

Carole Walker and Rachel Schofield have both been on this week so they've not done it very successfully if at all...

And it seems Carrie Gracie will be doing this week's Dateline London in the next few minutes.

The presenter currently on, Nkem Ifejika, is a new one to me - I don't think I've ever seen him before on BBC News overnight.

Nkem Ifejika comes from BBC World Service radio where he was a presenter of their morning rolling news programme, Newsday.

He is now a full time BBC World presenter, having started last weekend.

What is this? A Daily Express headline‽


Firstly, why have you put her entire name in Capital letters? Secondly, why is this news?

A: I copied her name from the sub text of this thread...
B: Presenter thread.
C: People still wonder if she is a fix presenter or random one
D: If there a relief presenter working we do took note.
R: Mean after a few weeks, of details we can look back at the thread.

Has he gone? I didn't realise. Is he going to work somewhere else or has he just left the BBC to write books or something?
