Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Robert Nisbet back on Sky News this morning, but in his new post as spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group.

According to the Sky EPG, Kay Burley, Anna Botting, Colin Brazier (if true, it'll be good to see him back), Jayne Secker, Sarah-Jane Mee and Jonathan Samuels will all be presenting between 09:00 and 17:00 on Saturday, with Dermot Murnaghan and Sarah Hewson taking over until 21:00.

Stephen Dixon will be presenting Sunrise from Windsor on Friday, will Gillian Joseph joining him on Saturday. Kay and Anna will be presenting most of Sky's output on Friday from Windsor as well.

Interestingly, Mark Austin is seemingly returning from the US to cover for Anna Jones on both Friday and Saturdays' evening shift...it'll be good to see him presenting in the studio.

Are they expecting a big event tonight? Sarah stayed on until 12:30am and now Stephen Dixon is taking over at 1am

Edit: According to Sarah's Twitter he will be on until 10am

Stephen tweeted a couple of days ago that he would be on air from 1am until Sunrise finishes at 10am. Bit odd though. As it happens, there's the serious incident in Paris tonight.

So here we go.. you can catch me on Sunrise Friday Saturday and Sunday, with a bit extra for free on Sunday morning 0100-0600. So a long old day but we'll have a giggle I'm sure...🤞🤞

Seems odd to have a senior presenter on when they have so many used on overnights

Edit I see that someone has replied to Stephen 7 hours ago saying....Unfortunately with some breaking news tomorrow the Sky Sunrise interview with me won’t take place. edit: I'm assuming with the announcement of the death of Dame Tessa Jowell around 7:30am that this is why this interview was cancelled.

Edit: He said he was doing a double shift. why? Now that I don't know. We seem to have run out of people!

What's Gamal up to these days?

He was covering for Kay Burley last week.

Mark Austin on News At 10. Seems oddly familiar, doesn't it?

Have to say it's been great to see Mark Austin anchoring these last few days. Has reminded me just how great an anchor he is - experienced and has such a natural authority similar to how John Suchet did.

Mark is leading the hour with his own report on the days events.
Such a shame he couldn't of replaced Jeremy Thompsons role.

Emma Crosby presenting alongside Gamal today.

As she did on Tuesday.
