So we all know that Etchingham, Young, Stayt, Myska and Sanderson are the new news team for Five when Sky takes control of the channel. However who's going to be the weather presenters ? Are they planning to do away with weather ? Or are they going to use Sky's existing weather readers ( Lisa Burke, Sarah Moore et al )? Or are Five going to retain their current weather readers ( mainly Lara Lewington and Sian Jones ) ? Anyone know ?

they'll keep Lara Lewington, surely?

I think the weather is a separate service anyway, despite it being filmed/recorded at ITN.

I think it is ITN who are contracted to do it, though the bulletins are seperate from the main News, probably due to Sponsorship, but remember the Weather is included in the Five News updates, they used to be in the old main 5 News Early programme.

I think it would be likely that Sky will probably take over the Weather, don't know what will happen to Lara Lewington.
