Yes given Jane, Clive and Reeta seem to appear more often than the likes of Huw and Sophie these days you'd be forgiven for thinking they were 'official' network presenters anyway.

The increasingly low bar the BBC has for breaking news alerts has become ridiculous and I know of many people who've just turned a once useful service off due to these kinds of notifications. I don't know why they do it, it only serves to irritate people and turn them away from using a BBC service (sometimes in favour of competitors (though many are equally poor on this front)). A breaking news alert should be for breaking news only - not for promotions, not for puff pieces and not for general news stories.I’m sure in the early days of COVID these breaking news alerts only appeared rarely, and you knew it was something fairly big, they seemed to appear on average no more than 1 per day
Now they seem to appear about half a dozen times every single day, and sometimes it isn’t even News
“A minor cabinet minister is about to appear on Laura K’s programme, watch now”
“With strike action tomorrow, our reporter has all the latest”
“This week could be tough for the PM, says Chris Mason”
etc etc

Will it just be their existing programmes or will they be on air longer?Other than Focus on Africa continuing (from Nairobi) and there being a bit more sport programming, very little has been said about the structure and schedule of the World version of the channel, so I don't think we really know anything for certain. I would expect the channel will be from London for around 15/16 hours a day - so maybe five three-hour shifts if they are the only five London weekday presenters. But then we don't know if Atkins and Outside Source will continue (as one of their most successful formats, I assume it will) and they could possibly have one weekday reporter-presenter shift - both would allow for a shift pattern pretty much as per World at present.
