Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

She's won it four times now I believe, the last three years in a row.

Chloe Potter doing the midnight shift last night, to round off what has been a week of lots of changes to the usual presenter rota which has seen Sarah Hewson doing the late evening shift twice in a week (a first?), Sarah Jane Mee on the Boulton & Co shift, Anna Jones starting the week on Jeff Randall Live and finishing on Kay Burley's shift, Arshish Joshi on the 7-9pm shift on Friday! There were more as well that were out of the ordinary but can't be bothered to list them all.

Also Pete Spencer struggling badly to read from the autocue again on Friday, kept stopping and stuttering with lots of er, urm, etc.

That's normal.

Also, Jannat Jalil presenting in the afternoon rather than her, normal (always) night time shift.

When you talk about Peter Spencer struggling with the autocue, is he presenting or reporting? And if it's the latter, how do you know he's using an autocue? Many reporters ad-lib rather than read from a teleprompter.

I can't think of any reporters using an autocue (as opposed to presenters); I think that's just how Peter Spencer speaks.

I think he uses the auto-cue because the place he usually presents from is a studio that has Autocue facilities as it has usual reports from there.

By which you mean the Westminster studio.

I'd be very surprised to learn of ANY reporter having used an autocue to be quite honest; generally speaking that doesn't happen.

The site outside does have the ficilities for autocue, so I'm pretty sure he does read from the autocue, as does any other reporter reading from there.

Who was presenting sunrise this morning? Was it Stephen Dixon?

Yes

You say this; but where exactly is Adam Boulton's autocue in the above shot. His camera is a standard one, without autocue.

The usual setup for outside at Westminster is with a standard camera, no autocue. This I witnessed first hand on a walk through Milbank. The standard practice for a reporter is exactly the opposite of what you have stated; they don't use autocues.
