Can only echo what others have said about Anna Jones. She's fantastic - professional but warm and effortlessly handles both the breaking news and the lighter stuff and good in both a pairing and anchoring solo.
One of the very best on Sky News.

It's hard to believe they once had her just doing 3-minute business updates.


Anna Jones is good on Sky's TV output, but (in common with a few others) is poor when reading
Sky's three minute radio bulletins for the commercial radio stations, seems to think she has to shout the script.


TV Anna Jones and Radio Anna Jones are two different people, and the TV presenters never read radio bulletins. Smile
Markymark, London Lite and BBI45 gave kudos

Devastating to read this. Jo was once at Sky News herself working in the Foreign Affairs department and was very popular amongst colleagues. Best wishes to Colin and his young family in this awful diagnosis.

Jayne was on Sunrise on location so there probably wasn't a newsreader.

Sky News Tonight was presented from Salisbury with Dermot and Gillian Joseph from the Glass Box rather than Millbank.

Gamal and Sam 11 - 2 and Sarah from 2 onwards, guess she'll be doing an extra hour?

Looks like it was probably for the Carragher interview.

Lisa Holland is covering the Moscow post. Presumably with recent events, Diana Magnay needs support.
