I have conveniently met up with my source today and did ask. She seemed a little in the dark to be honest,but said that "there's alway's rumours flying around", she also did say that they had been under "consistent pressure" to come in line with sky sports news (colours, graphics - I dunno) as they had had the better relaunch. She quoted the newsroom newswall as an example of this. She's gonna have a sniff around.

That's not suprising since both channels fall under the remit of Vic Wakeling.

I don't know if I can take a whole week of Andrew Wilson! He's ok in moderation, but I don't really like him as a newsreader - it's his voice that annoys me.

Tricky one, I think he failed the immunization program at sky towers fell foul to Ryley-itis. He's now in a rehabilitation home for the semi-retired news presenter I believe. He's roommates with Sir Trev.
