Again?! This is my first time in years seeing Jane present an actual BBC World bulletin and not just a simulcast!

I pressume Jane is covering on BBC World at the moment. Am i right in thinking a few of their big names are out in the field? Jane would be a natural person to cover of course given her experience.

On another subject, I am pleased to see that Juliette Foster is continuing to appear as news anchor on World. I have said it once and will probably say it another million times, but I fail to see why Sky dispensed with her services.

She is incredibly knowledgeable on every subject and can easily carry a broad spectrum of stories, from light-hearted to incredibly serious. I recall her solo anchoring the Asian Tsunami disaster on Sky a few years ago. She was incredible. Highly intelligent woman.


The second paragraph may have just answered your own question Wink

For anyone who's interested I found a small video clip of Jane Hill presenting BBC World in 2001:

http://www.rp-network.com/tvforum/uploads/bbcanews_closing.ram

It's captured from BBC America and I downloaded it from a website at the time. I've since forgotten which website it was, so I apologise if it is your clip.

By the way, does David Jessel still present on BBC World? I haven't seen him in months (admittedly I don't get much time to tune in these days). It would be a terrible shame if he's given up broadcasting as he was always excellent.

Matt Frei has been presenting WNA on location in and around Washington. First outside the White House, and now some random street. Are they doing work in the studio?

He must be freezing - its windy here DC with freezing rain!
