Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Possibly a sign of things to come with Anna Botting and Dermot Murnaghan presenting together with a relaunch coming down the line. Pity theres no Martin Stanford involved in the coverage for Thatcher after his excellent five and a half hour shift last night.

I thought Stanford very poor from when the news started to break and showed he just isn't suited to the big breaking news stories anymore. at least on his own.

He was much better however with Anna Jones taking over as main presenter and with Stanford offering analysis. I honestly don't think he should get a top slot at presenting, if he's going to be used in a higher profile slot it'll be best as a secondary presenter or in other roles.

I concur. He was quite hesitant and speculative at the best of times. His role on the Skystrator alongside Anna Jones suited him a great deal more to be honest.

I could feel Anna cringing when Martin introduced a top of the hour with "you're watching Sky News HD "

He is just too morbid.

Anna Botting back from 29th April full time. This will be her only day until then.

Lukwesa Burak is on tonight

As soon as she started talking for the top stories I thought I remember that voice, It can't be Lukwesa isnt she working in a different country? but it is

I wonder if she is just freelancing or she is coming back full time.

Edit: Back again following evening.

When did Lukwesa Burak turn into Rihanna?

You mean to say Rihanna is presenting the graveyard shift? Sky really need to get a grip on their presenter scheduling.

"Where have you been? 'Cause I never see you out (on Sky News). Are you hiding from me, yeah? Somewhere in the crowd........"

Just a reminder that Anna Botting is back this evening.

We will see!
