HI
With Karen Petch going on to Wellbeing, Calendar are yet again struggling to find anyone to read the Calendar News
Reporters including Anne-Marie Tasker and then Faye Barker have been doing short Calendar News' lately
Even presenters have been turning up in unusual places, 'Morning' presenter Raj Shukla did the 6.05pm and 11.20pm updates last week whilst 'Weekday' presenter Fraser Maude, who as well as filling in for Mike Morris all last week, also read the Calendar News yesterday!
Today, we are being treated to yet another unknown, this time Clare White!
As I've mentioned before seeing strange people on Calendar Central bulletins doesn't mean that they've not presented on screen before. Calendar East is a training ground for new presenters.
I know that YTV recently advertised for a new Breakfast presenter for Calendar, so maybe Faye has been taken on for that role, rather than being a temporary fill-in?
Meanwhile, Calendar's Faye Barker presented during GMTV, 10.56 and unusually the Lunchtime edition as well.
Mike Morris is still off, replaced by John Shires today

LOL! They've just said on YORKSHIRE TELEVISION:
'and after this extended Tonight programme, we have the latest from our Granada News studio'
Yay! Does this mean CALENDAR is down, or YRV's announcer is ill?
HI
Anyway, As I jotted it down on paper last week, I might as well post it. It might be of interest to those of you who used to watch these programmes, and don't know who anyone is these days!

I don't think he'd meet the standard for a Wellbeing presenter do you ? 2 things against him, he's 50+ and he's male. But, although he's disappeared from Calendar, he's still been doing 'Missing'.

I think Fraser Maude did the July and June editions of Missing at least.
Maybe he's working on Calendar South in Sheffield ?
