Granada Reports

Hoping he can continue the legacy Tony left on the programme and its viewers.
Tony knew Gamal in his lifetime, so Tony would've been immensly honoured and proud to pass the torch onto him.

Gamal’s first bulletin is on Monday.

They closed the programme with a live two way with him. He was somewhere in Stockport, I think he hinted close to where he's living.

Gamal presented the lunchtime Granada Reports like he’s never been away!

Gamal seems to fit in very well.

Has anyone got his first bulletin from 6pm?

Gamal doing a fantastic job and he and Lucy work very well together.

Unfortunately I didn't record his first programme, but as nobody else has either I thought I'd post this bulletin I recorded from Thursday night just to give anyone outside Granadaland an example of him presenting it in the first week.

I have had to use YouTube's editor to cut out a 15 second long(!!) clip of a Premier League match during the sport section otherwise it would have been blocked worldwide.

I noticed this evening the coffee desk is no longer angled and the studio isn’t as dimly lit. Looks a lot better on screen.

Maybe a spin around in a few weeks time, when the clocks change, for the outside MediaCity view?

any caps?

Well no, because it hasn't happened yet.
