That is completely wrong - the only people you've got in the correct place are Matt and Jon apart from Emily and Ben...


Whats the right one then?


I think you'll see the re-uniting of one on-screen couple with two people moving/leaving to make way for the other...


That suggests to me then that Peter Dobbie is moving to BBC World as some have already speculated.


Peter Dobbie is Adrians replacement on BBC World I was told.


Now for UK viewers, that is a real shame. Peter Dobbie is the best there!

Maxine Mawhinney, I'm guessing is going down the same route as Val Sanderson [who she replaced IIRC].

Mr. Dobbie is presenting on BBC World right now, and making a fine job of it too!

It's a bit unfair to be so hard on Ben Brown, when he has had, so far, little experience of studio presentation. I would imagine that News 24 management are hoping that he will grow into the presenter's role as he gains more experience of it.

Agreed. Ben has so far been 'average' in my opinion. Rachel Schofield was 'average' when she started but in recent days with Jon Sopel she's been excellent. I remember a while ago saying that N24 wasn't really doing very well in it's development of new female anchors, well at last with Rachel they have someone who could fit into a permanent schedule if and when Ms Hill goes on to better things.

When I first saw Rachel, I thought she was Judy Aslett from ITV and Five News; when she started to talk I realised I was wrong (as ususal).

She may be good but - BRING BACK LOUISE!!!!

If they want to put Huw on News 24. surely it would be better for Huw to carry on presenting the second half of the "Ten O'Clock News Hour" on News 24 from the national studio, rather than switching mid-way through what is marketed as a single show to a different presenter, in a different studio, with different graphics.

I'm disappointed that we are losing Peter Dobbie from News 24, he made the late night slot his own - he will be sadly missed. But, I'm looking forward to Chris working on his own; it will be an interesting change, and I think he will do a good job of it.

I'm also disappointed that "with me, Tim Willcox" hasn't been handed a weekday slot of his own. His downfall is that he's so good at his job and at working with whoever he is paired with that I expect he will be in high demand for relief. Plus, with all the additional shifts in the schedule, there will be lots more shifts to cover for the relief presenting team.

Looking forward to some more official announcements.

He - and you - may think he's good at working with whoever he's paired with, but Louise Minchin obviously doesn't agree!

No, keep him as supply newsreader please.
