Yalda's departure is a big blow for this new news channel. She was one of the ''chosen ones'', supposed to lead the channel, with a prime time slot. But in reality it was a downgrade gig where presenter is a frozen autocue operator. I made sure to tune into her slot but I doubt I'll do that when the replacement takes over.
BBC News has lost SO MUCH talent over the last several years and especially last year or so, it's really hard to connect the brand to any people these days. It's pretty much Matthew, Lucy and Sally as the only remaining long serving presenters and who can guarantee they won't jump ship as well.
I'm not even going to go into production values, sets, visuals etc.
IMO, BBC News needs to actually hire someone of quality and experience, a new name to balance out all of these losses. Can's help but think of Hala Gorani, even though she left CNNI she intends to go back to TV work eventually.
