I recognised her voice , has she left five live or is this some freelance work.
I only saw a brief bit of her and Chris Rogers , she seemed a bit 'twitchy'.

The other girl is completely new to me. Anyway it keeps it interesting having some different presenters on .

Who's the presenter reading the 10am summary? Haven't seen her before.

To answer my own question, it's Susan Bookbinder (ex-Five Live, IRN etc)

I knew the voice was familiar!

There was a thread on the Five Live usenet newsgroup about a month ago saying that she had left the station.

Does anybody know what happened to Phil Gayle. He presented on the News Channel quite frequently, but he has not been seen for a while. Has he left ITN?

He left at Christmas to spend a year working in Australia.

She's terrible.
Disliked her on Five Live and find her even more annoying on ITV.

Who was the lady presenting on the NC in the late afternoon.. Melanie someone. She was very shaky and a bit sloppy in her delivery IMO.
