BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Tim has done this a gazillion times in the past. As have others.

In fact, I did something similar myself yesterday.

Tim often does more than one shift a day. Gavin Grey did a shift much longer than this back in February presenting between 1pm and 12:30am (possibly Sunday 24th) that's the longest i can recall.

Kasia Madera & Martine Croxall present a BBC News Special from Studio E covering the Police Helicopter crash in Scotland tonight

Yeah was just away to post this, is this simulcast on World as well then? Worthwhile adding that CNN US dipped into their primtime schedule to cover it as well.

This is a simulcast on BBC News & BBC World News

Just checked the Police Scotland twitter and there are some US correspondents adding to the follower list.

It's very surreal to think that this happened only a couple of minutes away from me. It was Police Scotland helicopter Sierra Papa 99, which I think is based at the heliport at the SECC.

Adnam Nawaz joining Kasia in Studio C now. BBC World News now taking the lead for the coverage.

Adnan is good on live coverage, no stuttering at all.

Ditto comments re Adnan Nawaz. He's been very good throughout.

Laura Bicker live on location in Glasgow this morning, being the only presenter reading the top story at the top of the hour.

BBC Scotland's Laura Bicker presenting BBC News now after reporting during Breakfast. Don't remember her presenting before.
