Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Well they are because they are probably going to take a pay cut and also some of the presenters they use such as Matt Teale are frelaunce.

Sky are saving money because some of their presenters are probably going to take a pay cut?

Why do you keep posting such unsubstanciated meaningless drivel? If this was wikipedia nobody would be able to read your posts because of the number of [citation needed] tags all over it (probably along with the grammar / spelling warnings too).

Would they not have taken a pay cut already then if the changes have taken place. It's a strange one though, because they still use the same amount of presenters every day, I think they might be using the Sky Sports presenters on Sky news to promote Sky Sports News. That's just a guess but theres no real other reason for doing so.

From the Independent on Sunday's "Feral Beast" media diary column

Sky presenter Kay Burley put in an appearance at the launch of Quentin Letts's book Letts Rip!, having shamelessly demanded an invitation live on air. Alas, she didn't stay long enough to get even with another guest, Labour MP Chris Bryant. A clip of her interviewing him has become a YouTube hit after he called her "a bit dim" on air. Now he claims he didn't know it was Burley he was talking to: "I had no idea," he told me. "She was just a voice in my ear. I couldn't see her, I could only hear these stupid questions."

...........and had he been able to see that it was Kay he was talking to, he of course would not have made those "dim" comments and of course would not have rendered the questions as "stupid".

I think he is a bit dim himself for trying to pass that off as an excuse.

Surely he would have known it was Kay Burley - from the voice, and from the Sky team. Kay is hardly a new presenter, the politicians know her well.

Yeah - but she's hardly that famous in the wider world (my mum wouldn't recognise her) - and if you have heard the quality of some talkback circuits you'd struggle to work out the gender of your interviewer.

Yes - if he had thought about it, he might have realised, but as an MP you may have more interesting things to think about than the Sky (or for that matter BBC) News channel's presenter rotas...

Lucy Cotter to join Sky as new entertainment correspondent i reckon she will more than likley be a relief presenter to.

Daniel, I don't know who she (Lucy Cotter) is. But I watched a complete edition of Sky World News a few days ago for the first time ever. Lukwesa Burak (forgive if I have the spelling wrong) is an excellent presenter. I was highly impressed. She would also make a great relief presenter.

Completely agree with that, Lukwesa is superb. A bright future I suspect.

Lucy Cotter is entertainment correspondent for london tonight and a relief presenter , last year Lukweza did some shifts on sunrise and like BBC World and JPEG have said is a excellent presenter and I think will go on to big things. I think saturday live could be a good opening for her.

Where's Sky's Delhi correspondent during this Games debacle?
