Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Let's go with...Andrea Catherwood? Or perhaps Jeremy Paxman? 😂

Does Paxman count, owing to the C4 simulcasts? I must confess even I don't know!

I guess that means Yes!

Is Amanda Walker related to Johnnie Walker, or is that a filament of my imagination?

Regardless, she's a very capable correspondent. Looking forward to it.

She's a very capable presenter, she's hosted the odd one off presentation and documentary and coverage on US events almost like a presenter in the past and seemed very accomplished.

Isabel seems to be struggling this morning. Unable to effectively commentate on the Queens visit to the victims, long periods of silence. Seems well out of her depth!

To be fair to Isabel, a lot has happened between 11-12 with a man being arrested outside Parliament, while still conducting interviews etc. From what I could see and hear, she may have talkback issues.

Should you wish for a consolidated summary of the day's events, I'm presenting the 60-second update on Pick TV at 9pm.

Gamal has been putting in some long shifts the last few days, been seen in the afternoon and still on for the press previews.

I'm not sure if Anna Jones started at 10 or 9 as I'm sure Gamal carried on after 9. Sophy Ridge I think ended up doing around 45 mins from North Kensington at 7pm and was then moved from her location, which led to Gamal carrying on and presenting the 2000 bulletin from Sky Central.

Gamal was still on at about 9.20 from what I saw.

He was covering a lot yesterday, was on afternoon and did press preview, same on Wednesday I think.

What happened with Sophy? They said they lost contact but it was rather sudden almost like they had been told to stop broadcasting?

And yes, we got there in the end, as seen on-screen right now.... Amanda Walker is going to be doing a bit of London-based presenting for a while.

Pretty much. A protest march headed towards the media enclosure and they decided to get out ASAP before the crowd arrived and came through the barriers.
