It was nice to have Angela Rippon appear from TVC and telling her story. I wasn't born, let alone in the UK to watch her bulletins

The £64,000 question on Monday would be who will do the honours of fronting the '1' (and the VERY first N24/BBC1 show from NBH) on relaunch day (sorry if this is a repeat question, it just so happens that I want to put it on the right thread :p)? On one hand, Sian usually takes the Monday shift but we do know that it is Sophie that has a larger footprint on the show.


I think someone on Twitter asked that question and one of the directors said "it has to be Sophie doesn't it"

Before that, something tells me N24's final hours at TVC will have an arrangement of rotas similar to what they did during the olympics, I.e. prolonged single-headed presentations. I recall during that time Simon being the sole presenter during the mornings. Whoever is doing the final N24 bulletin from TVC tomorrow has a full plate and big shoes to fill.

Let me guess. It will be an almost 5 hours long single headed shift, my money is on Gavin Grey.

Surely they'll make the last shift double headed for the light hearted moments before they leave. 8:30-1 shift would be too unreasonable surely? I think it would be nice to have Nicholas Owen and Emily Maitlis if possible, two of the channel's best!

Speaking of Emily, few days ago she tweeted she's probably the only one who will not miss TVC, or sth like that, so shes not the best choice, at least for the sentimental value.

I think it's safe to assume the new schedule will be...

08:30-11:00 Simon McCoy & Carrie Gracie
11:00-14:00 Matthew Amroliwala & Jane Hill or Ben Brown & Joanna Gosling
14:00-17:00 Ben Brown & Joanna Gosling or Matthew Amroliwala & Jane Hill
17:00-18:00 Huw Edwards
18:30-21:00 Martine Croxall
21:00-01:00 Clive Myrie

Has this been confirmed yet?

Simon/Carrie and Clive have been confirmed for these slots. Nothing else yet, but this is just based on hints in tweets by various presenters.

It won't be Chris, he's tweeted his last shift from TVC is tonight from 7pm (unless I've read it wrong).

Probably Gavin.

I thought it was Maxine (she said on her Twitter that today was her final day at TVC).

If she is presenting today, that would be nice as she was one of the originals from 1997.

Yep, Maxine's doing 1300-1900, Chris is doing 1900-0100.

We are talking about the Monday morning shift which will be the last from TVC.

Surprised the new presenting line up hasnt leaked yet. They said details will come out as weekend aproaches.
