Thanks.

who cares?

By the way, quick tip, you don't need an apostrophe after newsreaders.

I do! I'm a nosey so and so.

your selection of topics are very repetetive. this whole university/kaplinsky fixation you have is like a wheezing donkey. it was a poor topic to start with.

Blimey, someone got out of the wrong side of bed!

.... and by the way, you forgot to mention my Fiona Bruce fixation!!

Why assume that they all went to University - it isn't a requirement to have a degree to be a newsreader or a journalist.

(And it is JordOn not JordAn)

It is a requirement nowadays actually, hence the lovely Natasha and lovely Fiona have degrees from Oxford University.

oooooooooooh - this subject just seems to go on and on and on...........

Firstly, the original correspondent just asked a simple question. I am sure that she / he would apppreciate an answer to the question asked, because the question is obviously of interest to him/her.

Secondly, regarding all the requirements for a presenter to have a degree or not..............(by the way, I am not having a pop at the original question, but rather stating a fact).

Imagine you're at home on a Sunday evening, and a major newsworthy event breaks, and it requires Newsflash to be made, be it a world war or the death of a Pope or whatever.....

How many of us would switch the newsflash off and refuse to listen to it if, for example, it was Moira Stuart who appeared on screen to deliver it???? (strictly an example)

How many of us would say to ourselves "I am not listening to this, no matter what it is, because Moira is presenting and she is not a proper university attended, degree qualified journalist?????"

Bolloc*s! Get a grip everyone who is on this "fantastic university degree" trip.

(Again, I apologise to the original post - this is in no way meant to belittle your very relevant question - I am sorry that I don't actually have the answer to any of your questions, but a am sure the BBC News 24 and BBC World websites may yield some answers).

I can't tell you any of those, but I can add some:

Jon Kay (BBC West of England Corres.)
James Pierce (BBC Sport)
Simon Vigar (LBC former five, BBC and ITN)
and some former BBC WMT pres and current BBC N24 reporter

All from Exeter University and past members of the Illustrious Xpression FM (well URE in their time)

Jane Hill studied Politics at London University

Did Bridgett Kendall go to Exeter University as well?...
