Natasha Kaplinsky to replace Kirsty Young on Five News

I think it could be the other way around as kate silverton has presented the one quite a lot,I think it could be jane/sian to the six kate to the one and suzzana read being mon-thur presenter with dermot and maybe louise to weekends with bill.

Well we are up to 10 pound per viewer if this is to be believed. This is a big waste of their limited money but then what else could they spend it on ? Another series of Fort Boyard.

I've never really been a big fan of her, so I'm somewhat pleased that she's off to a channel that I rarely watch for news.
Of course, she must have a lot of fans/pulling power if they are going to pay her as much as is being rumoured, so I wish her luck on five.

I think this is an excellent opportunity for both Natasha to develop herself and also for the BBC to have a proper reshuffle.

she presented a for a week when Sophie was ill - look at Louise or emily who have presented consistently


Very likely - if Sian got it and Kate was on breakfast, who would be relief - Jane or Kate?


I hope not


would suzzanna be high-profile enough? Kate maybe, outsider perhaps, but not suzzanna...

Louise seems to have moved to mornings - Kate's slot... Could Louise take over from Kate permanently as News 24 mornings, breakfast relief and One deputy (as she is currently). I can't think why else Louise would have moved to mornings (why not just Carrie).

By the way, where has Jane Hill and Kate Silverton been recently? They seem to be the least reliable News 24 presenters (obviously they're working for the beeb but still unreliable). If Jane/ Kate/ Louise/ Joanna move about/ leave News 24 for different reasons, who'd replace them?





a Kaplinsky-free beeb... when's she leaving?

As others have said, she's obviously gone because of the money as Five News won't be a step up compared to presenting every other programme on BBC1. Plus, she obviously likes being in the spotlight, hosting Five News which hardly anybody watches is not going to continue this

I wonder who BBC1 will get to present all those generic live shows she hosts, Children in Need, New Year Live etc

My money is on them bringing someone else in.

Kirsty Young could well be a contender with her now doing Crimewatch. If not her, I'd like to see Sian get the 6 role. She's been in wait for ages, and was shunted back when Natasha arrived.

With Sophie pregnant again, it wouldn't suprise me if she doesn't come back. This will be her third child and she might want to spend her time with her family.

This could also trigger a bigger shake up than we think. George has spent a long time on the 6, perhaps it's time for him to move on somewhere. I think we'll see Dermot come off breakfast and onto the 6 when the reshuffle happens, hopefully joined by Sian.

Praise the Lord!

Thank goodness, is that other stupid kaplinsky clone thing with the thick framed glasses still presenting breakfast? i stopped watching.

So shes basicly returning to BSkyB? Or will she be employed by Five?

Just to go and shake things up... a new idea.....
