I’d expect a lot of people to say “oh it’s that bloke who used to do Crimewatch”.

Well from the World people, he's the one who did most domestic news. When it comes to recognition, you could probably say the same for most of them, since in reality very few really watch news or pay attention to presenters.

People's memories have time limitation. Also, Afghanistan specials, anchored by Yalda Hakim, although infrequent, were usually simulcasted on NC as well, so of the whole UK five, I think, it is Lucy Hockings who will be least recognizable to a domestic NC viewer.

'The Context' getting extended is unfortunate unless there's a massive change in format. The pundits offer no real insight and get paid for that. It's has the nutrition of junk food like Fox or MSNBC but without the flavour.

Regular viewership of news channels is just not that high - particularly those viewers who watch long and frequently enough to know the names of the presenters.

For what it's worth here in Australia, the News Corp (Murdoch) owned streaming service Flash News has changed the icon for what was BBC World News:
