Another one - Rob Butler (ex-ITN era Five News).

Where'd he vanish to?


He was good. I liked him. Also, what about Katie Ledger? And Katy Haswell? Kate Sanderson? Sue Lawley? Frances Coverdale? Lisa Davidson?


I noted from the Andrew Harvey link, above, that Chris Lowe is also working at the same firm. As is Graham Leach.

Didn't they get rid of most of their freelance newsreaders a while back?

Yep, they had a clear-out at the start of the year, I think, but they seem to be collecting more again. Having said that, I think Sarah-Jane Mee, Lisa Knights and Paula Middlehurst (think she's freelance now) are the only semi-regular freelancers as far as I know.

Is Sarah-Jane freelance - between Sky News and Sky Sports she seems full time

Paula does NSW on weekend afternoons most weekends, and often does the evening NSW during the week

I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think she would have to be freelance to work for Sky News and Sky Sports as, in terms of contracts, they'd be separate entities.

God yes, she was brilliant.
Rob Butler stood as a prospective Tory MP somewhere in Surrey this year but wasn;t selected as a candidate in the end.

Is that the same Rob Butler who used to narrate programmes like The FBI Files and similar or is that another person?
