Well Sky were apparently in talks with Sir Trev... not sure in which capacity they were after him though. Talk about a major addition to the team though if that were true!
To be honest, I don't Sir Trev would want to move from ITN/ITV. He's been there for years and he's already said he isn't going to continue newsreading for long. He would just ruin his role as the king of ITN by moving.
My god, Sir Trev is so patronising and dull, stick him in a place like sky, and he'd end up being used as a coat-rack. Let him retire to one programme a week before finally giving up altogether and go back to gardening or penning novels about his life at ITN.
Incidentally, Media Guardian are suggesting that he could be the new head of BBC News.
As Media Guardian requires registration, here's the article if anyone's interested
"Can BBC nick Nick from Sky?
The transfer of Roger Mosey to BBC Sport has resulted in a frantic race for the position of head of TV news at the corporation. The leading internal candidate is still seen as Ten O'Clock News editor Kevin Bakhurst, but conspiratorial whispers say ambitious current affairs boss Peter Horrocks is in the running, as well as genial former Newsnight editor George Entwistle. But the darkest mutterings surround the name of the bosses' No 1 choice, which Monkey can reveal to be Nick Pollard, head of award-winning rival Sky News. Apparently there is some serious wooing going on - Monkey's man with the microphone says BBC director general Mark Thompson still thinks News 24 "needs a rocket up its backside". Pollard is seen as the man to fire it, but are his Sky share options just too valuable to give up?"
Can't see this mentioned anywhere... Eamonn debuts on Sky News on Monday the 26th of September, I assume that's when we'll see the new Sky News? I can't imagine Sky revealing the new look early September then Eamonn joining a few weeks later.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had to put it back by a couple of weeks given the unprecedented amount of news that they had to concentrate on during July.
Also, previous "relaunches" were always late from what I remember...
According to the Sky News Centre, Sheila Jansen, Paula Middlehurst and unfortunately Vivien Creegor are not a part of the relaunch.
Shame that Viv isn't gonna be staying with Sky - shes fab - and I was starting to quite like Paula as well - she has really improved as a news presenter over the last couple of years.
Relaunch date also seems to have been put back to late September/early October...
I am surprised at that, as personally I'd rather see any of those three (experienced) presenters doing the news than some of the ones they seem to be replacing them with.
If this: ''Either between 8pm-9pm or 9pm-10pm is Sky World News, the other hour will probably be rolling news, Sky News at Ten - 10pm, Sportsline at 10:30pm and rolling news between 11pm-12am.'' is to be believed, then the relaunch sounds pretty pathetic.
I'd be very surprised if it were just rolling news from 8pm-midnight. Considering all the reports surrounding the relaunch have been that it has been done to beef-up the primetime schedule, it would be rather odd to see them change every other slot and leave them pretty much as they are.
With reports like 'Sky considering Newsnight rival', which don't appear from nowhere, I think the info on the Sky News Centre site is, with the greatest of respect, somewhat questionable in authenticity.
