Lauren Taylor and Tadgh Enright are almost certainly freelance and Lewis Vaughan Jones, Samantha Simmonds and Lukwesa Burak may well be but almost all of the other faces appear to be either be BBC staff who are presenting news channel shifts on top of other lower profile duties and who presumably wouldn’t be best pleased at effectively being demoted or appear so infrequently to be essentially irrelevant (as there will almost certainly always need to be a small amount of freelance cover due to unexpected absences and on location assignments).
