Peter McLinton was a very well known breakfast presenter on local commercial radio, and Murray Norton was probably the most well known presenter on BBC Radio Jersey for years. Both now deputies in the Jersey States government.

Do most regions now follow the lead of many daytime partnerships and tend to not have one presenting without the other, or do they tend to ensure one of their names is anchoring at all times. I swear Tony and Lucy have only hosted Granada Reports together for a couple of weeks in the last few months - Lucy seemed to be off for ages and then when she returned Tony Morris was off.

Christine and Duncan seem to be off more than they are on lately, sometimes one of them, sometimes both, and neither work Fridays, so no is the answer.

Lucy Meacock and Tony Morris have been co-presenting Granada Reports since September 2003, I think Christine Talbot and Duncan Wood have been presenting Calendar a few months beforehand.

According to Wikipedia, they started on the Tuesday after the Late May Bank Holiday in 2003

Yeah I think they relaunched the show on the Monday with Lucy and had Tony on Location, then he went live on the Tuesday like you said above.

I think Lucy tends to have Thursday and Fridays off now most weeks?
