I wonder when Anna Brees (just joined from Central West) will be elevated from the off peak bulletins to being one of Sally's regular stand ins. Otherwise it's a bit of a downward career move for her ?
Having just joined you cant expect her to go straight into presenting the main edition - when there are other presenters having been there much longer!
Why, haven't you ever witnessed a new member of staff coming straight in up the ladder in the workplace ? It's experience and ability that counts, not necessarily just length of service and loyalty these days.
I doubt Anna B would have taken the job without that commitment, in what is a far less 'prestigious' TV region.
How is Central West more prestigious than BBC South???!!
It has a larger potential audience, the marketing types would refer to that as a 'bigger market'. Though it's not entirely fair to compare an ITV region with a BBC one in that way, what criteria would you apply ?
Total audience? I wouldn't be that surprised if South Today (Southampton and Oxford) got a greater total audience than Central West these days, even though it may have a smaller regional population?
Market leading within your market (or any market?)? South Today is the most popular regional news broadcast in its region, Central News West is beaten by Midlands Today.
Status? ITV Regional News is no longer a calling card that means very much on a journalist's CV - particularly as the budgets get tightened and the quality drops yet further.

That was Jo Kent. She often presents on South Today bulletins and occasionally does Sport on South Today at 6.30pm. She doesn't often do the main gig though - wonder where Sally was? Roger Johnson is usually Sally's stand-in!
