I know Ben Thompson did business updates on the News channel but he's primarily covered for World News as a presenter. So the term 'World News takeover of the News channel' doesn't seem too wide of the mark.(06-04-2023, 09:01 AM)Rolling News Wrote: Not all bad I suppose - Rich Preston is making a daytime appearance this morning.
I can't believe it's taken him so long to get onto daytime - he's undoubtedly one of BBC News' best young presenters.
From the shifts this week, unless it's because of the Easter holidays, it looks like the 9am - 12pm shift will be a rotating presenter shift, with there being 4 of the 5 Chief presenters on between 12 midday - 10pm every weekday.
What's the situation on World between 5am - 9am? Is this still split into two separate shifts or is this now one 4 hour shift?
Makes you wonder what the former News channel presenters who haven't left are doing? Are they working behind the scenes doing other things? I half expected one of them to have popped up on the breaking news streams at least, but alas we haven't seen them yet.
