I'm never a fan of any programme title which includes the name of the presenter as a suffix, it reeks of ego on the part of the talent, even if it's not their suggestion.
Obviously if the actual title of the show is the name of the presenter (eg The Andrew Neil Show) then that's different.
It's just completely unnecessary on anything else, and especially for bulletins on a rolling news channel.
It's especially weird when you get presenters covering when someone takes time off but they still keep the name of the programme so you get oddities like "you're watching The Sarah-Jane Mee Show with Jayne Secker'.
It happens loads on the radio when someone is filling in and is a real bugbear of mine!
