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...


Matthew and Jane presenting between 1and 4? And so im guessing maybe Maxine to leave/move. And no idea on the other one. How do you know anyway?


I have my sources - think about who could move to make way for another presenter - someone that could easily pop up elsewhere... Wink

That suggests to me then that Peter Dobbie is moving to BBC World as some have already speculated. Hmm... perhaps Chris Eakin doing 10pm-1am then? Because if Matthew and Jon are staying put then Chris must either be doing that later slot or leaving. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Sounds like that could be very right.. or Simon moves to Breakfast, but ive been told im wrong on that. So i'll have another stab....
9-1 Simon/Kate
1-4 Matthew/Jane
4-7 Jon/Louise
7-10 Emily/Ben
10-1 Chris
Maxine and Peter to leave. Any closer?

I was thinking that Simon could be headed for Breakfast, with Chris filling in for Simon on 9-1?

Yeah that was initial thought too, but jamej said that of Ronant 's original predicted line-up, only Jon, Matthew, Emily and Ben were in the correct places, which ruled Chris out of the 9am-1pm shift....so i dunnooo now!! Expect that we'll know the whole thing very soon though.

It's like Cluedo!

Jane & Chris are both staying, because Nicky said, and we have a reunion and two leaving. So either Jane & Matthew or Chris & Maxine with Maxine and someone else leaving?

Then again, can't be Chris & Maxine as we know Matthew is staying, so that must mean it is confirmed that Matthew & Jane will be from 1-4pm. So where's Chris going? Maybe weekends?

From Media Guardian, includes further details of the new lineup:

Emily Maitlis joins Newsnight

John Plunkett
Wednesday February 22, 2006


BBC London presenter Emily Maitlis is to join Jeremy Paxman and Kirsty Wark as one of the main presenters of Newsnight.
Maitlis, who has long been identified as one of the corporation's rising stars, has also been given a plum slot on BBC News 24, co-presenting its peak time news programme between 7pm and 10pm.

She will present the evening News 24 slot with another new face on the channel's presenting team, the BBC's special correspondent, Ben Brown.

Maitlis, who presented two editions of Newsnight in October last year, has presented BBC London's main evening news bulletin since 2001.

"I would have given up an arm and a leg to work at Newsnight, so I'm rather pleased I don't have to," she said. "I'm hugely looking forward to working with Ben on News 24; there's so much energy and so many new ideas on the channel at the moment, it feels like the right place to be."

Maitlis began her journalistic career as a documentary maker and business correspondent for NBC Asia. She later joined Sky News, moving to the BBC in 2001.

She will join Newsnight's regular presenter line-up of Paxman, Wark, Martha Kearney and Gavin Esler.

Brown joined BBC News in 1988, and was appointed special correspondent in 1998 after seven years as the BBC's Moscow correspondent.

Brown and Maitlis take over the News 24 slot from Jane Hill and Chris Eakin. Hill moves to the 11am to 2pm slot, alongside Matthew Amroliwala, and Eakin will present the channel's 11pm programme.

The reorganisation comes after Sky News revamped its own evening line-up as part of its relaunch last October, with a 7pm news round-up programme hosted by Julie Etchingham and an 8pm international news hour hosted by former Bill Clinton aide, James Rubin.

Brown said he hoped to use his "knowledge and experience of almost 20 years of international affairs" and said he would "present from the field when the major stories arise".

Peter Horrocks, BBC head of television news, said Brown and Maitlis were "extremely accomplished broadcasters, and personify the best traditions of television journalism - rigorous, straightforward and always fair".



So a whole new lineup is on the way, we will have a 9 - 11 slot, 11 - 2, 2-4?, 4- 7? and 7-10.

I'm not sure on the fate of one of the presenters that is no longer on the main schedule - maybe there move to just doing Fridays or the weekends or will go to World or leave? But I know that the other one will be popping up elsewhere...

So the slot times are changing, otherwise Nicky wouldn't have said that, but we know that 7-10 is staying as it says in the press release.

Perhaps they will only take Breakfast to 8am, then a new 8-11am slot? Or will it just be a 2 hour slot from 9-11?
