Yes, there are others who can do a good and great job but let's face it, Huw Edwards is now that senior, experienced, familiar figure the BBC always had and needed, to cover the most important, historic moments and events.There’s no doubt that if Huw does decide to leave, it would be a loss. That said, the BBC is bigger than one man — and any career decisions he makes will be right for him and that’s something that will be immensely personal.
BBC better find a way to keep him, and hopefully he's seen how others who left recently have crashed and burned, so he should be careful as well. Working for the state broadcaster is on another level compared to random radio gigs, podcasts or big money news channels.
I believe the current talk is that he might leave the news, but continue as a presenter for elections and other big occasions (like royal events). Certainly, I can't see him turning up on GB News or TalkTV any time soon!
