You can see Anna Botting in the background on Afternoon Live, sitting where Jeremy normally sits. Anna on Live at Five tonight perhaps?

It is indeed Anna Botting Live At Five. I know its not gonna happen but I would like if Anna and Jeremy swapped slots,it would be interesting to see how JT would do on News at 10 and the Press Preview.

Have to say SkyNews.com has really developed into a great show. The amount of content,live link ups and interviews/debates in half an hour is remarkable really. In my opinion the 7PM hour is the sort of appointment to view programming they should have gone for from the start,with both Martin and Jeff's shows both being very well put together.

Dermot presenting coverage of the Budget next week with Kay Burley and Michael Wilson in the The City and Jeff Randall with analysis all afternoon and an hour long special at 7PM.

Plus,Martin is back with Budget Unplugged,which was a great watch last year.

Yep, on Sky Today.

It seems Colin, Chris and Andrew are all off so Anna has been filling in all over the place.

Chris Roberts has done Sunrise Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Odd though they didn't use Gillian today as Sunrise main presenter, and use Chris for one of Anna's shifts. This morning was the first time for a few months that Gillian hasn't stood in for Mark when he wasn't there on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday

Shame for Gillian getting a smaller role but I'm not sure she is really Sunrise material.

The thing with Sunrise is it's more laidback than the rest of the Sky News output with good scope for banter but Gillian's style is quite rigid and serious. Fine for the summary presenter role, but she doesn't pull off the main anchor role quite so convincingly here.

I suppose if they do insist on keeping NSW then they could do a lot worse than move Gillian to weekday evening NSW from 8-10. The format suits her better and she is very good on this normally.

I take your point about her style. It's a shame Sky don't have many 'traditional' news bulletins anymore since she is well suited to them. If Lorna could be found a more high profile role I would put Gillian on Weekend Lunchtime

Personaly, I would like to see Lorna and Chris doing N@10, with Anna moving to double up with Dermot on SNT.

Not sure why but Nick Ferrari is the guest presenter for Sunday Live tomorrow.
