This suggestion is a bit out the box. A well known face who would be good in a teatime slot - John Stapleton???
NE
As he said he was leaving for other commitments and an American project I would just conclude that he has gone to take up opportunities for bigger and better things. He'll be back, just you wait
Ben Scotchbrook agreed with so many years experience should handle the job very well, I'm sure he didn't start off his first 6 months anchoring like a seasoned pro though.
Well whne people leave they always say something along the lines of " I'm off to pursue new projects."
There not gonna say something like "I quit becuase it didn't suit it me" etc.
Ben might have not started of as a seasoned pro - but his always been a competent presenter.
Finally!
At least we agree on both points! Time will tell though and leaving lead anchor is a bit of a big leap, I'm sure it must have been worth it.
Well out of the GMTV lot, along with Kate, his one of the only ones staying on Daybreak.

I actually think Kate Garraway and John Stapleton on London Tonight - perhaps with John making appearances on Daybreak and Kate becoming a regular face of Lunchtime bulletins - would be one of the best options going. They both come across as warm and have sparks about them - something Donal and (though I quite like her) Nina seem to lack.
Though it won't happen. And I'd like Ben to get the position.

Yes, I think John Stapleton would be an excellent choice. He is known to the viewer.

Its not going to happen they have just joined Daybreak and Kate is going to be on every morning do you realisticly think that they would present lunchtime news everyday and John is not there for the occasional programme he will most likley be giving exclusives and interviews and special reports . Also Nina wont just be axed like that she is a regular across 1:30,6:30 and 10 its not going to under go a massive change the whole of itv regions tend to move together and it needs some stability.

No. Thus I said:

So anyways back to the topic instead of messaging things that could be done through pm's
I was interested to see media monkeys take on Donal leaving by bring back the youtube clip of donals big mistake within weeks of starting.
I must admit it was really funny at the time

Excellent ideas from BBC World and House. John Stapleton would make a fine choice, in the vein of Alastair Stewart or Frank Bough on LWT. The Kate Garraway idea is interesting, not least of all because I have this vague recollection of her working on London Today/Tonight in the mid-Nineties; it was between her stints at Meridian and BBC News, I think.
Don't be so sure on that front. There's concern already at how Daybreak hasn't made the impact that was hoped for and there have been discussions about how this could be rectified. And as both the reviewers in the press noted last week, along with some members on here, there was more than a whiff of resentment and 'forced amiability' between Bleakley, Chiles and Garraway on screen. To be fair, I can see no reason at all why it shouldn't be possible for somebody to present a morning show and do either a lunchtime or evening bulletin; it's a regular occurrence on this side of the Atlantic, the most notable examples being Harry Smith anchoring the Early Show and filling in on the CBS Evening News, or Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer alternating between Good Morning America and World News Tonight on ABC. I'm sure that John Stapleton and Kate Garraway are remunerated sufficiently enough and if they are only appearing on Daybreak once or twice a week for a few segments then I'm quite sure that there's enough time left in the week to do another broadcast.
