While recruitment is continuing in Washington, it’s been suggested to me that the process in London may have been impacted by union unhappiness that at least one freelancer made it through to the shortlist for the correspondent/presenter roles despite it being a closed process for staff.

Some of the names put to me on that shortlist are also pretty surprising - suffice to say, don’t expect lots of existing presenters to be filling those roles.
