So Rahman often gave me the impression of being in love with being a Presenter. Style but no substance.
And while Al Jazeera Interntional is clearly a step up - as the AJI thread points out there's lots of doubt about whether it will launch so it may prove to be a bad move.

It's not a case of will it launch, it's *when* will it launch

Haven't read anything about him moving to AJI except for here though

It's Granada's last day at the Albert Dock tomorrow... and, for anyone interested, there'll be a look back at the last twenty years in tomorrow's Granada Reports.

The Liver Building newsroom opens next week with another special report on the new base on Monday's Granada Reports.

Ahh, thanks for the hint there Mr Bonner, I will be watching...

It's a shame Liverpool was never used to it's full potential, as it only housed every Granada Reports bulletin for so long. Though I hope this look back includes the 1986 titles, the ones with the 3D Albert Dock building with the very 80's music.

Hmm, it's generally not the wisest thing in the world to post views about your employer on a public forum, no matter whether they are good, bad or indifferent....

I did not know it had "Granada TV News" at one time on the building, good send off Andy! the new space sounds good and it still has a studio area.
