IIf it was me planning this out, I would got back to having pairs of presenters who front each of the national bulletins including at the weekends so you know generally know who will present it. Id then have a few floaters who fill in where and when needed. Then instead of having 1 person who ends up becoming the face of BBC News, instead the team become the faces of bbc news. You’d then use that team to lead things such as state opening of parliament, elections and those big national events. That way it never becomes reliant on one person its the “core” team

I would suggest they essentially already have that ‘core team’. Raworth, Myrie, Hill, Chackrabati and Brown are currently the main/regular BBC 1 presenters, across all of the week. It’s relatively uncommon for others, like Moshiri, Husain or Daheley, to appear.

I think it’s more important to have capable and familiar presenters than fixed rotas. There is arguably more consistency on the bulletins today than there has been for most of the last decade.

I think the bigger question is about who fills the other duties if Edwards doesn’t come back - the royal death-calibre news coverage, election nights etc. Though again I feel like they already have more than capable people who can take on those roles - I could see Mishal Husain or Nick Robinson taking over elections, for example, without needing to become more of a ‘BBC 1 face’.
