Also, have we seen the last of producers in T-shirts presenting the UK opt? Haven’t seen that for a while.
I think most of the ‘new’ faces we’ve seen since the merger were already part of the presenting pool on BBC World News and overnights before March, and also occasionally popped up at weekends on the then domestic News Channel. The reason we’ve seen so much more of them is because they lost so many of the regular faces when the channels combined and have yet to fill the presenter reporter posts.
The only ones I’m aware of who have only appeared on screen post merger are Kylie Pentelow and Lauren Taylor, and of course the producers who have stepped up to the presenter chair.
