I seem to recall there were a few raised eyebrows so to speak on this forum at the time the 5 presenters were announced. I seem to recall it was observed that the 5 presenters all had a mainly World News background, rather than any UK News channel background.

Though I suppose that would be the BBC's defence - the most senior World News presenters were the most senior and best paid presenters across the two news channels (excluding those who were de facto largely network presenters), they wouldn't have got that gig in the first place if BBC executives didn't already feel they were better than the others. Whether that is right is debateable, but their appointment wasn't the most surprising.

Plus, I feel that the World/UK background thing is overdone - unless plans changed rapidly, it's clear they were never going down the full world news route and three of the five presenters had considerable domestic experience - Amroliwala as an NC presenter for 17 years, Moshiri as an NC business presenter and Fraser as one of the lead Brexit reporters and UK-oriented 100 Days presenter.
