When was double anchoring dropped on the NC? Are there any clips of the last dual-anchored program? Not very easy to search for 'BBC News Channel' on YouTube as it brings up all the latest news reports!

Until 2010, weekdays through to 23:00 and the evening weekend shift (19:00-00:00) were double-headed. This evening weekend shift was the first to be cut back, becoming single-headed in December 2010. Weekday double-headed presentation continued until 2013, though the two-presenter evening shift did not make the move to NBH (partially because a second presenter was no longer required to run across to N8 at 21:30).

The midday shift (11:00-14:00) switched in June 2014 and the morning shift (08:30-11:00) was left with one presenter when Simon McCoy moved to afternoons in March 2013, though the slot was largely replaced by Victoria Derbyshire the following month. The afternoon shift (14:00-17:00) was able to holdout a while under Jane Hill and Simon McCoy, but was reduced to one presenter in July 2017 (at the same time the News at One presenter started presenting the full hour).

BBC World News has never really done double-headed presentation with two news presenters in the same studio (they have obviously done two presenters in different cities or the old morning news-business partnership), but there was a short-lived double-headed news hour at 10:00 from July 2008 to Feb 2010.
