Oily parties? I think they are reserved for more slimey news presenters. I know who's name I want to drop into here but I'm sure it may result in another one week banning...

Envoirment, eh? Well, I thought that Ms SO had been hosting oily parties on the graveyard shift - Saturday night/Sunday morning on N24 for a while, now. Like years, man. So why no profile? I also think that people who know, like Mr Handsome (funny name), might say that the garments so often presumed to be doilies are, in fact, antimacassars.


but all the times she was on N24, they were all tempory jobs. Unlike people like Philip Hayton, Jane Hill and Jon Sopel.
Susan only did some occasional presenting

For a long time Susan presented every Saturday night/Sunday morning on the News 24/World/BBC One overnight simulcast.

Yes, excellent, we have now definitively established that Susan Osman appeared on television every Saturday night/Sunday morning, on the News 24/World/BBC One overnight simulcast. At least two people have seen her. So, back to the original question. If she has been part of the N24 "team", how come there is no profile of her on the N24 website? Is her absence an oversight (not that the BBC could possibly make such silly mistakes), or does this mean something more sinister - for example, is she being "airbrushed out"? Has she committed some sort of unspeakable crime, and is, as we speak, on a train to a gulag in Siberia?

Airbrusing is complete: The Points West website has changed (sorry if you think this is in the wrong forum, but it's still about Susan) they've removed Susan from the brochure page and from the presenter line up. But interestingly or oddly, depending on your view, Sally (who was taken off presenting and is now in New Zealand/Australia) and Saima (who is working for Watchdog) still appear. Wonder why?

Because neither have officially left ...

Got to say, very interested in who exactly you are.

This is interesting, but I suggest that it is not airbrushing. Because Ms Osman has left Points West, it is hardly surprising that reference to her has been removed. This is not sinister. My enquiry is about the N24 website. I am curious to know from all those "deep throats" out there (and there seem to be people with truly profound knowledge, up to and including information on Susan Osman's offspring) the reason for the omission of Susan Osman from the list of N24 presenters. An oversight? A slight? Is Susan Osman off the air for ever? Has she left Bristol? Is she working on her screenplays? If anyone knows, do tell.
