Rich Preston is the only consistent face during the slot, which he formerly shared with David Eades.
That does seem to be the case, although Rich Preston is more than capable of being allowed on in UK daytime or evenings now.
But this also begs the question, where will future young reporters & presenters get this crucial presenting experience in future if overnights will be coming from Singapore & Washington?
I remember both Martine Croxall and Karin Giannone started out on News 24 & World overnights in the early to mid-2000s.
