I'm not entirely sure why Lucy Hockings is seemingly the top dog here? Don't get me wrong - she is excellent (as are most of the other World presenters) but I'd have thought someone like Yalda Hakim or Christian Fraser, who seem to have much higher profiles than Hockings, might have gotten priority for a branded show? I suspect it's perhaps to do with seniority? I think Lucy's been a presenter there for longer than any of the other 'Chief Presenters'.
In terms of longevity I’d say Matthew Amroliwala is possibly the most high profile, who was a regular News 24 and BBC One face between 1997 and 2014, although has been less on in the U.K. in the last 8 years.
In terms of recent years, I agree Yalda and Christian are probably most high profile.
