Yeah, I also thought the same about Jackie Hardgrave, ever since Joanna Gosling took over. But I don't know who Winifred Robinsone is! Can anyone get screen graps?

Also does anyone remember the guy Christopher Morris? I think that was his name. He usually filled in for absent presenters.

Winifrid Robinson used to present North West Today/Tonight and I was surprised when I seen her on News 24 a good while back now! Don't know where she has gone though.

Also I think Adrian Finnighan should return to News 24 a bit more often. He used to always do the overnight stint but since the axing of the flags he seems to be BBC World exclusive only. I liked him, and also whatever happened to the 'We now welcome viewers from BBC ONE in the UK' and 'This is BBC News, broadcasting to the United Kingdom and around the world' at the top of the hour?

It used to all sound very grand and I liked the welcome, seemed personal even though BBC WORLD viewers also would of heard it.

Winifred came from Radio 4's Today programme - she was a reporter/presenter there. I'm not sure if she is still there but she only did a few shifts on News 24.
