It is really noticeable to a London viewer like myself when they do the program from Tunbridge Wells due to no HD. It looks horrible, but not for much longer as it will be getting an upgrade soon.
I know this is a bit far fetched and hasn’t happened before, but with BBC News at Six/Ten production teams now merged with BBC London could they not have got Huw to do it if they were short of a presenter?

The production teams aren't merged, they just use the same studio and crew. 

Getting Huw to read London News assumes that it's a presenter they're lacking, not an output editor

First time I've noticed it, but BBC London now has a pre-recorded preview of Politics London with Samantha Simmonds from D.

Issues with the lunchtime regional weather on ITV1 London. We got the countdown clock for the London bulletin, but then got the Meridian sponsor and West/Thames Valley bulletin.

Jane Hill is doing the late BBC London evening news tonight.

Unusual. Someone else did the London headlines at the start of the Ten (don't know her name, sorry!).

Alice Bhandhukravi. She presented the main evening bulletin.

That was Alice Bhandhukravi, and she did the main 6:30 pm London bulletin.


I'm not 100% sure but it looks like the London headlines during the 10 were a repeat of those shown in the 6. You can check yourself, as London headlines are recorded in the iPlayer replay of the bulletin.

I would assume Jane was the standby NBH presenter for the Six and Ten should the feed from Scotland go down?

Most likely this is the case. However, still not clear for me why they decided for her not to read the London headlines as well and opt for a (most likely) repeat - did they want to avoid confusing (non-regional specific) HD viewers by showing a familiar face doing a regional bulletin?

I guess she needed to be on hot standby during heads in case they lost Glasgow, as it’s a crucial part of the programme.
