Any idea who the announcer is that is on duty tonight - I have heard him on a few times latley.

I recognise the voice but can't place it??

I'm sure there's a new announcer on BBC ONE Network tonight as well, quite a young Scottish voice... can't say I've heard her before.

There must be one or two new starts....whats heppened to all the regulars?

I think I hear Craig Austin on BBC Scotland at the moment too?

The guy on BBC 1Scotland tonight sounds very nasal.

They were advertising for additional continuity announcers last year to help cover staff who are getting trained for Pacific Quay.
