It’s mentioned that some of the list might get BBC1 roles and she is the most prominent on BBC1 of the axed list.

A baffling list to me - nothing against the names selected, many strong broadcasters, however all of the experienced, veteran newscasters who may be recognisable to the general public have been cut. I sense this is more about who will command the lowest salary than it is about anything else.

Wow, it really is World News for the UK isn't it
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - TheJarv - 02-02-2023
Looks like faces familiar on the current World News Channel have been spared, shows where the priority is, how many of these are known to a domestic audience
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Transmission - 02-02-2023
This is now confirmed by the BBC, by the way:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/bbc-unveils-presenter-line-up-for-news-channel/
It does feel as if UK viewers are really losing out with this move.
One other thing to note from that release:
Quote:Advertising will now begin for eight correspondent roles. These will be on-air journalists who will present, as well as report, on the channel.

I'd check myself but can't.

Don't think it has been mentioned yet, at least I have not heard it, always have the New Channel on in the office,
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Chud - 02-02-2023
Do we know what’s happening with the names not on that list? I thought Karin or kasia would have got the job over Maryam.
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Alf Stewart - 02-02-2023
Such sad news if true. After the loss of Joanna Gosling last week, I was hoping that Annita at least would get the gig.
On a personal level though, I find many of the presenters on the 'in' list difficult to warm to. Admittedly I've not had a great deal of exposure to many of them but the whole thing just leaves me a bit 'meh'.
Hopefully Sky News might pick a few of them up - looks like I'll be heading in that direction a bit more now.
