Maybe I did phrase that incorrectly. What I meant was that at the moment,  it really is a random pick and mix as to who will appear at the weekend. But you’re right, there’s been no consistency really, especially at weekends, and especially in the U.K.  since at least 2021. One of the (few) positives of this merger is most of the weekday slots now have a fixed presenter, compared to before.

But, from what I recall, have weekends not been fairly inconsistent since Mawhinney and Esler left around 2017? I feel there was long an odd mix of main News channel presenters and junior World News presenters, with it being unusual for the same presenter to be in the same slot week-to-week. 

There certainly is a bit of variety in who is on weekend duty, but it would surprise me if the number of different presenters is higher than it was last year. Perhaps it's just more noticeable now you have largely fixed weekday presenter shifts as those presenters are unlikely to present at the weekend, unlike the main NC presenters in the last few years.
