Lovely tie - but I wish they'd train these stand in guys not to look so akward as the voice shouts 'Live from the Sky News Centre, this is Sky News' - poor Gamal was looking all over the place. Just look down then up on cue Confused

He was a good and able Presenter when he worked at Granada. He presented the GMTV opt-outs , after News at 10 and at Weekends.

Not sure if this has any significance either, but the EPG for next weekends sunrise states "Sunrise with Gillian Joseph" on the hour, then half way through the hour it is titled as "Sunrise with Mark Longhurst". Could this indicate a return to double headed presentation maybe?

If it does, then it's possibly only the weekend edition of Sunrise. None of the Mon-Thurs editions have changed, and the Friday edition with Mark Longhurst and Gillian hasn't changed either.

Strangely enough, the EPG for next Saturday's Weekend Lunchtime says that Gillian Joseph is presenting that too.

I really do think Gillian Jospeh is responsible for updating EPG info! Always name checked!!!

Can someone please give Paula Middlehurst a proper job - I'm sick of seeing her on weekend NSW!!! She should be doing some 'proper' established shifts, why do they give some good shifts to say Charlotte Hawkins, Sarah Jane Mee (yawn) or Sarah Hughes! Paula doesn't pout and ask generic questions like these 2 or 3, and she always keeps a good flow going - she'll repeat a story 3 times in the NSW and yet each time it is delivered as if it had just broke, so surely she should get more time to shine!

totally agree! Sky ONLY lets her presenting the nsw and she would be great on so many other positions . It´s also a shame that she isn´t listed as a main presenter on the skynews pressoffice site. Even gemma morris is listed as a presenter

Don´t know what has happened that sky denies her any other slots like sky news at ten. 3 years ago she was often presenting news at ten.

It's a new trend at Sky, keep the capable experienced presenters in miserable 15 minute every 15 minute slots while the likes of Hawkins, Sarah whats's her name and Matt the biz correspondent fill in on established weekday slots. Rolling Eyes
