Some lass called Sasha Qadri doing overnight tonight. I don't like the letter Q not being followed by a U, but maybe that's just me.


Qadri. Qatar. Qatani.


EXACTLY.

What good has ever come of these?

I wonder which bright spark is responsible for the latest changes to Sunrise?

They might as well rename it "The Eamonn Holmes Breakfast Show" and have done with it. They'll be having the lottery draw next just to make him feel fully at home.

What an appalling format.

A few changes on the Sky News Website today aswell,

Lunchtime Live now has its own website
http://news.sky.com/skynews/lunchtimelive

And it looks like Sky are finally trying to catch up with the BBC and broadcast live events on their website:

When you look at it now, Lorna was saved by moving to weekends, at least she will have a lot of on air time. Charlotte Hawkins appeared 2 times in one hour to read the news.
Sunrise with Eamonn is dull, I loved him and Lorna together. Now there's nobody to laugh at his jokes. I really don't understand why they did this, maybe they'll get better ratings with just him. I think the oposite will happen.

His jokes have never been funny anyway.

he gets everything, apart from a short round up.

interesting if this will be the same format on Friday, Sat etc

what will also be interesting is when there is a major breaking news story, can he handle it.

I haven't seen Sunrise in ages - I'm either at work or fast asleep. But I've been watching some of Martin Stanford's show tonight and I have to say it's excellent - a really interesting debate right now about the future of the BBC.

Martin's actually just used the phrase 'fair and balanced', and then been visibly embarrassed about doing so. Quite right, too...
