Rachel Younger was the secondary presenter on sunrise today and Janat Jalil did the 2-5pm slot

He's done it once or twice before. but it's rare for sure

Anna Jones I hear back on now? She also did 10-1 this morning.

Seems Sky News are barely using any freelancers past couple of weeks and instead they're giving standard presenters extra work and then drafting in sky news reporters such as Gamal and Rachel to cover the shifts.

Im a big fan of jannat jalil and think she is wasted on overnights, give her a more high profile gig instead of using the likes of rachel younger who is v v irritating. Was also wondering if anyone knows how presenters are chosen for what programme, is there a system for who covers what programme.

And I'm the exact opposite. Jannat Jalil constantly stumbles over her words and her interviewing technique is very poor and disjointed. I managed to watch 5 minutes of her at the 10am TOTH today before switching off.

Still Oz correspondent for Sky News. He worked on 5 News as chief correspondent during the Sky era and was replaced by Tessa Chapman....from Sky!

Strange question. Do Sky News take anyone to read their sports news? I'm just wondering why an ex-Quiz Call presenter Kate Borsay is on there at the moment presenting it?

She used to work for talksport, presents the online updates on skysports.com and presented handball at the Olympics. So she has some sports background.
