I don't know about the others - I think maybe Zeinab might have done one or two? She was always much more of a World face anyway. And yes, Carole was a very regular presenter on the News Channel for some years.
That's right - Julia Somerville also did a few weekend Breakfast editions from N6, and Fiona Armstrong presented one Sunday edition with Roger Johnson from Salford.
Julie Somerville stopped presenting before the move to NBH, but Fiona Armstrong did present on the News Channel (and a couple of weekend lunchtime BBC One bulletins) from Studio E.
A couple more images for you, including another old News Channel face:

Not very easy to search for 'BBC News Channel' on YouTube as it brings up all the latest news reports!Until 2010, weekdays through to 23:00 and the evening weekend shift (19:00-00:00) were double-headed. This evening weekend shift was the first to be cut back, becoming single-headed in December 2010. Weekday double-headed presentation continued until 2013, though the two-presenter evening shift did not make the move to NBH (partially because a second presenter was no longer required to run across to N8 at 21:30).

So many good double headed partnerships and even the single headed slots were fronted by anchors who felt like they were talking to the viewer (!).World's line-up was also pretty strong in that 2006-10 sort of era - arguably a high-point for BBC News presenter wise. Though, correct me if I'm wrong, was Maitlis not on the evening slot with Ben Brown immediately after the 2006 presenter (and shift) reshuffle?

Helped in no small part, I think, by Sky News' constant chopping and changing their schedule during that period, not to mention the Sky-Virgin dispute - making News 24 look much more stable in comparison.
