I thought she might leave. She hasn’t seemed settled since the merger.

Yalda's departure is a big blow for this new news channel. She was one of the ''chosen ones'', supposed to lead the channel, with a prime time slot. But in reality it was a downgrade gig where presenter is a frozen autocue operator. I made sure to tune into her slot but I doubt I'll do that when the replacement takes over.
BBC News has lost SO MUCH talent over the last several years and especially last year or so, it's really hard to connect the brand to any people these days. It's pretty much Matthew, Lucy and Sally as the only remaining long serving presenters and who can guarantee they won't jump ship as well.
I'm not even going to go into production values, sets, visuals etc.
IMO, BBC News needs to actually hire someone of quality and experience, a new name to balance out all of these losses. Can's help but think of Hala Gorani, even though she left CNNI she intends to go back to TV work eventually.

If someone is made a better offer elsewhere and wants to go they are going to go. That doesn’t excuse them for not making use of all the news presenters they have on the books though.

Sure it is. If you're not enjoying what you are doing then sometimes no amount more money can make up for it.
However, now she can take her 30% pay rise to the private sector and up it further. Good on her.

£230,000 - no wonder they don’t have any money to improve the channel, that’s ridiculus when they are rooted to their seat controlling the autocue.
