Cost cutting measure, a waste of sky resources and ultimately a bad decision to have Gillian in a primetime slot where breaking news still occurs.

According to the Romeike media alert, "Anna Botting leaves Live at Five in two weeks time and will be replaced by Gillian Joseph".

Looks good! The very dull Ms Joseph would be totally incapable of anything remotely "edgy"

CODE-WORD ALERT:
Edgy: We can't be arsed to do anything spectacular so we'll just do the 15min summaries but draw it out to 30 mins.
News Sport and Weather: We're cost-cutting so we thought we'd think up a crap name and use crap presenters (not Anna B of course) that will accept the fluff we scrape off the floor as payment.

Suggestion:
Move Gillian Joseph over to Five.
Transfer Kirsty Young to mainline to co-present Live at Five with JT!!
Viewers of STV Scotland Today will remember that Kirsty quite easily laughed and joked at the correct moments (so much so on one bulletin that she had to give up reading the piece to camera and handed over to the co presenter to complete..........)
My point - she can interact and act as a suitable foil for Thompson, unlike GJ who I think will struggle.
Having both GJ and JT on the same bulletin will be like having teeth pulled IMO.
