Does Adrian Finneghan present on News 24? Or is he only on BBC World?

He no longer does, he used to do overnight during the flags era I think. But unfortuately he no longer does. I want to see more of Phil Hayton and Peter Coe.

He's done some occasional stuff for News 24 in the past, mainly weekends and overnights. He used to be a fill-in for Newsroom South East as well, and even read the news and overnight DJ on Radio 2!

Well he's now a presenter on BBC WORLD at weekends and is the voice of BBC WORLD.

Yeah! Bring back Adrian! He was great - really professional! Last time he was on N24 i think was after the BBC Bomb - he presented the 3am bulletin from BBC World.

Having 2 presenters on weekend afternoons on News 24 is quite interesting. I think they certainly should have 2 on late afternoons/early evenings (from about 5) - lots of news and sport results - think who would be watching: people coming in after watching the football, or being shopping or whatever - those who are at home post-shopping, but pre-pub or pre-cheessy tv on BBC 1 and ITV 1. I also remember lots of big stories happening at this time - the Omagh bomb, the Grand National that never was, the London nail bombs, Diana's coffin coming back from Paris - all early evening at the weekend.

I agree with the first but not the second!!! Coe can't talk - I have difficulty understanding some of his words!!

That's 5 exclamation marks, sorry!
