Peter Sissons - he just doesn't suit News 24 and should be at News at Ten or Newsnight.
Tim Willcox - just have a grudge against him
Kaplinsky - getting the, ahem, fame to her head
Philip Hayton - too boring.
Peter Coe return
Alastair Yates on the normal shift
Adrian Finighan to News 24 completely
Simon McCoy more regularly
I have to say that while I find him quite suited to other, single-headed bulletins, George Alagiah can, at times, be rather cringeworthy on the Six, particularly during handovers, ad-libs etc. When he throws to the weather, it always sounds forced, if not scripted, and that he's uncomfortable saying it.
Natasha Kaplinsky just annoys me (is there a day that goes by when there's not some bumbling over the autocue?)
As said in some above posts, Philip Hayton is another who doesn't usually function well when partenered, and Peter Sissons is, IMO, not at his best on News 24 (he does much better on N24 Sunday, where there is no breaking news).
Of course, all the above, if in the right slot, do their jobs very well. (Well, maybe not Kaplinsky, unless dance programmes suddenly come under the news umbrella...)
I like Joe Havard's idea of Anna and Huw on Six.
Also the perfect opportunity to return Sissons to his rightful home on Ten - everyone's a winner!
Well okay, maybe not One, but sure who cares - no one watches it anyway Just stick big mouth herself in there - she can yap and dance away and anything else that takes her fancy to her heart's content.
As for Katie, get her to stop being so patronisingly cheerful and conversational and using terms like 'well' and 'now' before the beginning of every story, and lolling her biro about and jolting her shoulders and I'll reconsider! At least she comes across as a nice person though which is important I think - and she does speak very well.
At least if the ingrained cheefulness turns her sour in the eyes of execs there'll aways be a place for her on BBC Newsline
I quite like Joyce Ohajah - but there you go...it seems shes getting slated quite a bit...
I can't make up my mind about her. On the News Channel she is usually dire - she 'reads' rather than 'presents' the news, doesn't ad-lib or attempt to engage the viewer and plainly hasn't read through the scripts before delivering the words on-air. And she's always fiddling with the autocue control thing on the desk!
On the other hand, when she does the 6pm London Tonight or the occasional NC shift with a co-presenter, she seems much more human and likeable.
It's funny but in my experience the really crap ones are the ones with the biggest egos(with a few exceptions). You should see both Nazanine Moshiri and Joyce Ohaja flouncing around(the latter is the worst) as if they're God's gift to broadcasting. All a bit sad really when they are so poor......
