I wouldn't call Anjana Gadgil inexperienced. She's presented South Today.
Meghan Owen was Charlie McArdle's cover on CI News. Azadeh Moshiri however I think is her first presenting gig after being a reporter.

Something that i noticed lately is that the bulletins from the news channel don`t have anymore thunderclaps between headlines (like it was the case before 2008). It is something new or it started with the changes of last year?

If anyone would like to beat Scott Bryan to the punch, get a recording of thr 10am headlines: Sarah Campbell had an unfortunate slip of the tongue during the headlines, declaring Stevie Wonder has become a citizen of Gaza.

BBC News at 1 will begin broadcasting from Salford on Monday 3rd of June. The nation’s and region’s opt will be contained within the national bulletin. N&R will opt out around 1:35 as normal, but they will now opt back in around 1:45. The opt back will be a clean hand similar to Breakfast.

Any news on the host? Have they filled the permanent position(s) or in the short term will they just be sending up the existing presenters from London?

The One moving really does beg the question was the refit of Studio B really necessary? From the 3rd of June it'll only house two 30 minute national bulletins and the evening and late BBC London News too. All of these programmes could easily be housed in other studios within NBH (as was the case pre-2022). Sunday with LK could also be moved elsewhere.
Its only other use case are elections and other special programming, both of which I do think benefit from the larger studio, however I think it would be far more useful with a less permanent set that could be changed out when needed. Due to the camera tracks in the current set, it's hardly any more flexible than Studio C/E, it's just a bigger and more modern version of them.
Normally I would have no problem with the BBC spending a large amount of money on refitting a studio, even if it wasn't used much. However, with BBC News being as cash strapped as they are, it seems very odd that so much was spent of Studio B where it seems like it could be far better used elsewhere.

Assuming C hasn’t been closed, which might be the case?

I assume at some point there will be an announcement about all the bulletins now Huw Edwards has left and George Alagiah is sadly no longer with us.

In continuing to discuss and try and roll back on some disrespectful comments about the presenters on the BBC news channel, this thread is just getting too personal about the professional position and calibre of on screen staff. Describing them as “interns” or doubting their “top class journalism” is incredibly condescending.
Please let’s draw a line under this whole subject and move on.
