I wonder if they’re trying to strengthen the weekends by bringing in the chiefs rather than the freelancers we’ve now become accustomed to. It’s not a bad idea, but then of course it means using the freelancers during the week to cover their usual shifts anyway.
This may be a minority opinion but I struggle to even tell who are the chiefs and who are the freelancers on the BBC News channel these days - but then I'm a domestic viewer in the UK where presenters such as Lucy Hockings are still relatively unfamiliar to me, at least. Almost 8 months on from this relaunch and I still see a merged channel that is struggling to settle and find some semblance of an identity. It doesn't help that - as I've expressed before on here - whenever you switch to it, it feels lacking in presentation and like you're only seconds away from another on-air mistake of some sort.
