That Carrie Frais has been hard working this bank holiday weekend, she seems to have been on all the time.


I hate Carrie Frais, she is so smarmy!

Steve Scott, Leyla Daybelge & Andrea Catherwood covered the ITV1 bulletins.

ITV NC played 5 minutes of breakfiller at 1pm and is now showing a repeat of the 12 noon bulletin.

I thought she was with BBC London after having left five news when sky took over.

At one point they showed Live with Alastair Stewart - then they showed Andrew Harvey... I should have got some recordings of the breakfiller - I like it!

They just cut off Glenn Goodman on a report about a small business attacking Apple!

She's freelance.

And getting quite a bit of work - she's done BBC London, ITV NC and Granada News in the space of a couple of weeks.

I don't rate louisa preston very much - the channel is so flat with just one presenter - surely 1-3 is one of the newschannels prime slots so why use 1 presenter with very little charisma. Where are Heather McCarthy and Chris Rogers nowadays - do they still present on the nc. I would love to see a return of Alison Bell to the newschannel. I've also been impressed with Lynda Bryams.

Chris Rogers is on quite a lot at weekends.

How come? I would have thought 1-3pm is quite a low spot for news channels, viewer-wise.

Well i would have thought that a lot of viewers switch over the the nc after the lunchtime news. Most daytime viewers tend to flick through the channels - louisa preston had very little charisma and they used my least favourite shot the whole time - quite distant with a 1/3 of the desk and 3 and a half squares in the background! looks so static! - wheres lovely leyla!
