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.

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

This is now confirmed by the BBC, by the way:
www.bbc.co.uk
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,

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.

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.
