BBC Announcers

Funny how that biog omits that Ja(y)ne was a QVC presenter for several years

Would you want that on your CV?

Well she must have been happy to take the monthly pay cheque!

Probably a good thing to have on your CV as a presenter, it's not easy standing on TV talking unscripted for long periods of time.

An interesting point Inspector; a lot of shopping or travel channel presenters do seem to be exiles from regional continuity like Sally Meen, Ruth Langsford and Paul Lavers. Both roles requiring sustained live presenting.

By the same thinking, Greg Scott and his colleagues may well have started their careers doing regional IVC had they been around 20 or 30 years ago.

who was the woman who used to shut us down at 3.00pm and started us at 6.00am :

i havent heard her fro years

Didn't think any of them were called BBC announcers any more ...don't they all work for Red Bee now ?

Interesting point.

If you live in England, yes, you'll only hear Red Bee announcers.

However, if you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you'll hear BBC channel directors.

BBC employees, therefore, cover a far larger geographic area, even if a smaller population.
