Ms Frisby should never have been shafted for Christa to start with, IMO.

Yes on Calendar one day she was on, the next Christine Talbot was presenting, with no mention of her for years afterwards.

I expect it's practically a certainty she will appear on one of these local TV stations that are starting soon.


No. They won't be able to afford her unless she gets some sort of stake in the setup.

I am so sad that she's gone. She may have come across as a bit of a diva at times, but she was bloody good at her job.

I've watched her on Calendar and Look North for the last 23 years and I am really going to miss her. I wish her well for the future

Just because someone is paid a certain amount, it doesn't mean that they demanded it.

Yes, and if she's unlikely to find any other employment she may have no choice but to take a massive pay cut. Especially if she wants to continue working in television.

The likes of Ron Atkinson moved to BBC local radio from a big job on ITV and Richard Keys and Andy Gray moved to a 5 day the week slot on talkSPORT for what I would assume was much less money than their two or three time a week gig on Sky Sports.

You'd be surprised in this business...
Can you honestly sitting next to a uni graduate on City TV?

Can you honestly sitting next to a uni graduate on City TV?

I'd imagine she'd be sold as the sole anchor. The question you've not answered is what else can she do to keep a role as a 'yorkshire journalist'? No one is going to match her BBC salary.

And as I stated other once high profile figures have had to move to stuff that would have seemed below them whilst at their peek.

Well, if there's any whiff of a tax issue no one will surely go near her until it's resolved.

If the python was on a suspected large salary, I would think that BBC Yorkshire, with PQF targets to meet are not that bothered by her demise. When she was first poached from YTV, ITV regional output was in better shape, with the current situation, I would imagine that the days of the BBC regional magazines needing 'big' or 'star' regional names has long one.
