In particular I'm thinking of Huw Edwards, who presumably won't be involved in election coverage at all - therefore needing someone else to present the main election results programming?It'll be interesting to see who they have to present if Huw Edwards is indeed unavailable. Since 1981, the only local election programmes where Dimbleby or Edwards weren't the main presenter were 1984 (Tusa) and 1999 (Wark, though Edwards was a secondary presenter). Kirsty Wark, who also co-presented the 2021 coverage, is likely to also be involved in Coronation coverage.
Jo Coburn has often presented the morning after, so perhaps she'll be promoted to main presenter this time, though I could see Reeta Chakrabarti stepping up given her involvement in recent election programmes.
