I was just trying to counter this bizarre NC vs World narrative that some people seem interested in drumming up, when a) I don't see why it's hard to believe that Amroliwala, Fraser, Hakim and Hockings were, at least on paper, the most suitable candidates for a job that was basically more like their job than anybody else's, b) most of the forgotten five are ex-World presenters and c) more News channel presenters got promotions this year than demotions.With respect you seem to be moving the goalposts. You say 'more News channel presenters got promotions this year than demotions'. Yes, moving to Network full-time is a promotion, but is it really when Ben Brown, Jane Hill and others presented probably just as many network bulletins as NC slots? All that happened was those NC slots dried up for obvious reasons, so they're full-time Network by default. This is all semantics anyway, I guess. My point was they weren't pure News Channel presenters like Martine and Annita.
