Yes I think he said that they wasn't enough good news and it was mostly bad, I think it was Martyn Lewis who said this!

I was surprised when he left the BBC - didnt they offer him the chance to present Breakfast News? I'm sure they did - in a similar kinda way to the way they moved Moira Stuart. Not even a little job on N24 or Sky? The fact his Martyn Lewis has almost vanished without trace!! Though what is this about BBC1 news changing? I think the 10 is most likely to change - the BBC 1 controller apparently is most keen for George Alagiah to take over there - with Buerk/Sissons either retiring or perhaps doing the new world news bulletin on BBC 4? Also expect in a few years the 1 to change - Anna Ford good though she must nearly be pushing retirement age - my prediction for her replacement? Fiona Bruce. She's often said she wants to be the main anchor on a main bulletin and shes now so much of a star I dont think the BBC will want to lose her.
