Sam Washington will also be allocated the 2pm-5pm slot permanently on a Saturday as well as 11am-3pm on a Friday with Tom McLeod.

Kimberley is on 5pm today in place of Gillian - no news on who will be Gillian's permanent replacement here.

It’s literally all here...

Gillian and Stephen are back together on Sunrise, she will move to that slot permanently for 2018.

Sarah Hewson will return shortly in the Friday 3pm slot, and other shifts elsewhere as required.

Tom becomes lead presenter on Friday 11-3 with Sam Washington. He also takes another weekday slot, plus Saturday and Sunday evening. Sam will also appear on Saturday afternoons.

Is there any presenter allocated for the ?? going forward and do we know if there are any other changes on Mon-Thur and who Niall is subbing for during the week?

I’d expect Sophy to carry on with Tonight when she’s back.

That just leaves 11:00am to 2.00pm and 2.00pm to 5.00pm on Sunday then and who Tom is replacing earlier in the week.

From the looks of this Sam and Tom are big gainers going from no dedicated slot to having some Gamal the biggest loser by Sarah taking her slot back from him when he returns and not getting any dedicated time and seeing Sam and Tom jumping ahead of him.

I'll consult the Roster Doctor and get back to you all. Then we can all rest easy.

Niall is doing Sky News Tonight on Fridays isn’t he? He might keep that slot even when Sophy returns and she’ll concentrate on Sunday 10-11; with Niall returning to 11-2 Sunday. Kimberly Leonard did a few Sunday afternoons last year, she might continue with Sunday 2-5 this year.

It’s really all up to Sophy and Sky. If she wants a new contract and Sky agrees, the she could just go to Sophy Ridge on Sunday. It’s also up to Niall if he actually wants to do that slot

Kay is on at 2pm today.

That's very weird, since the schedule was showing up as being back to normal today.

I had a look and it still does apart from fillers 9.00pm - 10.00pm all week.

Constant rehearsals for the new studio mean that the rota is all over the place

She's only on till 5pm which suggests we're still on holiday mode with the rotas even though All Out Politics, Sky News Tonight and and Ian King Live are back.

Robert Nisbet takes over at 5pm

As an addition - something I never thought I'd see - Kay Burley doing push-ups in front of the screen!
