Don't forget also Mike Neville's switch from BBC North East to Tyne Tees back in 1996.

Going back even further, Fiona Armstrong left Border TV in the mid-80s to go to ITN before returning to Border in the late 90s.

Anyway, on a kind of related note, I saw a report from Bill Neely on News 24 during the Iraq war, and was wondering what this was all about. To all the nitpickers, I am perfectly aware that Bill Neely did not "jump ship" or anything of the sort. Just wondering what his report was doing on the BBC. Anyone know?


Some reports from Iraq were pooled, so BBC, ITN, and Sky correspondents could occasionally be seen on the other channels.


There was some deal on during the war between the major broadcasters for them to share reporters, this mainly being BBC, ITN, Sky and GMTV, as Richard Gaisford (sp?) and John Stapleton were often on other channels or on the main ITV News.

And of course he was at Tyne Tees before joining the BBC.

Some other names to add...
Martyn Lewis went from ITN to BBC in the late 80s.
Julia Somerville went from the Beeb to ITN around the same time.
Simon McCoy recently joined the BBC from Sky.

I don't think he ever got anchor role of News At Ten that was more for Alastair Burnet, but I am sure at some point he must have presented it. Though he was anchor for News At One and Channel 4 News in it's early days.

Moving back to the original idea behind this thread, it been suggested on the Sky News Forum that ITV News's Catherine Jacob has been poached by Sky News to join the new Five News service.

I know a few BBC people who've been poached as well.
