Obviously horrible news for the many good presenters who have lost out, particularly awful considering the rigmarole the BBC put them through to then pick four of the most senior presenters anyway - what a d*ck move.

Hopefully some of the losing presenters will get roles elsewhere in the BBC - Jane Hill is an obvious shoe-in for transfer to the network team - one of the best news presenters in the country, they'd be insane to lose her. I expect a few others will also be able to get one of the presenter-reporter roles - some of them have already have long stints as reporters and I could see real roles for some of them - Shaun Ley, for instance, would make an excellent UK/European political correspondent for the channel.

Interesting, though, that Ros Atkins is not mentioned. I know he was already promoted to Analysis Editor, but I can't see Outside Source getting ditched - so perhaps more slots than were first advertised.
