I like Jamie, coming from my neck of the woods in west wales, you tend to support local people in their success

he used to be a continuity announcer on radio 4, before going into journalism, and now of course presents wales today, and has been since around 1994.

BBC, Huw Edwards is welsh, so get more welsh folk reading the national news!!

I must admit, I don't think Jamie's style is suited to national news. �I won't go into print on why

But needless to say, that's my personal opinion!

And dont' forget Jamez, for a short while he was also a continuity announcer for BBC Wales also. �Though he once said in a Western Mail interview that they got rid of him or something.

And for those of you on this forum who dont get BBC Wales, here's a picture of Jamie, albeit a not perfect quality!

They could at least of TARIF'd the projector for such a prestigious outing on TV Home!

Looks like Cardiff is about to be invaded by aliens judging by the green sky!

I think Meridian's Hannah O'Sullivan would be good on GMTV or maybe ITV News

PETER LEVY - he has done so much, worked so hard, he deserves to be on national.
(He presents BBC ONE's LOOK NORTH Leeds)

Yes, but can you imagine him on the Six O'Clock News - he'd have to go to the weather at 6.20 and make jokes with Michael Fish for ten minutes....

Urm, well maybe not... Clare Frisby should surely have an overnight slot on News24 at the weekends!! I think she's really good and should do better but that's where they seem to stick the regional presenters!

Oh, and of course future national news presenters - well me of course!!

I can but dream... probably best to stick with senior correspondent on student newspaper for now!!

Although it would be good to seePeter Levy on the national news, he wouldn't really fit in.

For a start he wouldn't be allowed to banter and if he was then they would have to employ Paul Hudson on the 6, they are a double act!
