BBC News Pres: 2022 - Present

Real shame, as others have said, always had a very warm, genial and approachable tone. Real missed opportunity if they haven't included him on the merged channel - would do very well I think as a political reporter-presenter - was very impressed last autumn with the way he covered UK political developments during evening simulcasts, smoothly fitting in explanations of how things worked for international viewers without it sticking out.

Gosh, Shortsgate! Only these forums could make such a big deal over a newscaster wearing shorts.  Cool

At least we got the trademark Shaun on air sneeze, yesterday. Big Grin

Good to hear he's back to radio but it's the TV viewers loss really....

Yes they did, and due to usual BBC inconsistency they still used it today for in-studio display graphics

As you can see, in the tweaked version shown yesterday there were no circular forms, just red mass sliding from below with a horizontal delimiter.

UPD. Also during 5pm hour intro the catwalk screens were switched off for some reason (may be the tech team planned to put a "BREAKING" there, too, but failed?).

At 6pm they were OK and showing globes. Anyway, World does not use this catwalk on weekends much.

We haven't really had any confirmation either way, but surprised it hasn't been noted that - at least according to some assumptions - we might just have had our last bulletin from the 2013 Studio E set. Though, given the lack of mention by anybody, I suspect this indicates network may stay a little longer.

He’d be good on the Today programme, i reckon.  Much better than Mr Obsequious himself, Amol Rajan.
