There are very few others in the BBC stable that I would put in the same 'master of interviewing' category - i.e., able to be incisive, always well-briefed, able to control the flow of the interview and be reactive, without being needlessly antagonistic or making it about themselves - so it would seem a little bit of a mistake to move her away from that kind of stuff. Senior state/national events presenter certainly, but confined to daily bulletins unnecessary.
She is brilliant though and if it was up to me I'd make her the main anchor of the 6pm news with Clive taking on the 10pm - though suspect if she made a more permanent shift to the BBC1 bulletins she might end up sharing the Ten with Clive with Sophie leading the 6pm team, which would work just as well.
