TV weather girl Jo Blythe is set for a change of scenery as she is tipped to become BBC's answer to ITV's Gabby Logan. Rumour has it that Blythe, 23, is set to be unveiled later this month as sport anchor lady for the BBC's flailing sports coverage, a move that will see her rise to fame continue

I didn't realise Jo liked sport. I wonder what type of sports she'd present?
The BBC seems to be aiming for younger presenters, with the addition of Craig Doyle.

Simon Gilbert has just left the Yorkshire weather team, so they will be a bit thin on the ground for weather presenters, if there is indeed any basis to these 'rumours'.

Has Bob Johnson left Tyne Tees? I haven't seen him present the weather for months.

No, he was back on today, check for him at 6.25pm!

He had been off for about a week.

And where has this information come from??? As its your first post, I dont know if your one of the folk who know inside knowledge or is a timewaster. Not holding my breath, but I will wait and see if it true first before more is said.
Anyway, As far as GMG Weather goes, We all know that 'The Gosney' Is the best!!

I hope this isn't true, to be honest Jo is my favourite out of the GMG North and to be honest we are fortunate to have her on quite often, considering now Simon Gilbert has left and Debbie Lindley never seems to appear anymore.

To be honest the Weather we have now is better than the weather which the team at Manchester used to provide. But it's a shame we never get Fred Talbot doing the weather anymore.

We hardly ever have Kerrie Gosney, but she did present the weather once this weekend. Is she usually Granada only?

Yep a shame we don't have Fred doing his "And what have we got for tonight" any more. He just does light news stories now for the program.
