Best news all day.

I second that!

As if there were ever any doubt she would stay... the Beeb might be mad, but they're not that mad.

As much as I disagree with/don’t like most of this, I do believe they’ve chosen the correct 5 to ‘front’ the channel. They need strong presenters to be the main faces of a global news channel and I believe Matthew, Lucy, Christian, Yalda and Maryam are the strongest five they could have gone for out of all. The fact they’re mostly World presenters doesn’t really come into it.

Don’t forget there’s another 8 vacancies going to be opened for ‘reporter-presenter’.

I think it does matter that they're all World presenters. It ensures continuity for the global audience, who are now the main focus of the channel and who probably won't notice much (if any) change.
