I hate the idea of lingerie models (Sarah Heaney) presenting the News on television. It just goes to show how incredible and how seriously STV take the role.

May I ask on what credentials Sarah was hired by STV to present the News? The fact that she appears regularly in Hello! and OK! magazines goes to show the type of "personality" she is perceived to be.

However, Whilst she may have long flowing golden locks and look the part, I don't think the viewers are fooled. The Central Scotland audience is far more at home with Shereen Nanjiani in the chair presenting their nightly news.


Actually i agree with Gavin (as i fancy him) Very Happy no seriously Sarah is a very nice in person and she has a great sense of humour and ten out of ten to her she plays the game some people at STV have been very unkind to her at times and resented her being there.I love her style,voice and look however she wouldn't be my first choice in news she is up and coming talent though and would be fantastic as a prime time TV presenter NOT news though Sarah is stunning and she is not fat or stick thin she looks fab.

STV seem to have this thing for blond bimbo types at the moment (however i would say that Sarah is NO bimbo she is very smart ) on Mondays during the lunchtime edition of Scotland Today they have this dreadful girl who reviews the soaps her voice is just terrible and she keeps referring to the station as "STV" whilst on air.Now the station rebranded in late 1984 that's 20 yrs ago as Scottish Television. I think this girl was a side kick on Real Radio on their breakfast show with Robin Galloway and then she has now moved on but she is the classic bimbo that doesn't look as though food passes her mouthshe is just so false. It must be Mondays at SMG towers as their latest bimbo presents the late night new look Scotsport show (which has been panned from day one) this girl is just the worst her name is Sarah O and she knows NOTHING about football it's realy cringie what they give her to do they have a promo for the programme and she is walking in the studio in slow motion and the v/o says this is hot Rolling Eyes but not as hot as this etc etc she is just not credible and is very uneasy with autocue she just doesn't have the nack of connecting with the viewer well the traditional way anyway .

Head of news departs STV

I wonder if it has anything to do with the move of Henry Eagles from Grampian TV to Scottish TV recently. He was head of news at Grampian and moved to STV to take up head of Sport which i did think was a bit odd at the time.It wouldn't surprise me if SMG are combining the two jobs a typical saving look at the way they got rid of Angus Simpson .No doubt we will find out the reason at somestage .

Getting rid of Angus was a really stupid thing to do. I think she works well alongside all of her co-presenters, but Shereen was particularly excellent when she co-presented with the humorous Angus Simpson.

Yes true however it was on the cards. Angus had been sidemoved to the lighter lunchtime show for sometime.Shereen and John were the main team for the 6.30 programme after Viv left and as they had Louise,Stephen,Sarah, and Nick i suspect that Angus would have been the most expensive as he had been there the longest and he wasn't that productive in their eyes only doing lunchtimes .

Dying to find out what the story is about Paul Mckinneys departure though that is very odd.

Is there any truth in the rumour that Shereen has been offered a role at Sky News? I heard this a few moments ago from a mate back in Glasgow who swears that rumours are rife in Cowcaddens that such an offer has been made.

Anyone able to back this up?

Would be brilliant! But I think Shereen will stay at Scotland Today!

She would have moved before now and the rumours where rife when five launched as most people thought it was Shereen that was going and it turned out to be Kirsty!
