Anyone know who is set to be the stand in host for Sarah
As long as its not Alex Thompson, I'm A.O.K.
Or Samira... she seems rather cold, fine for the secondary news person, but when she does the weekend news, and news at noon, she just seems to lack something.
Eddie Mair on C4 News... now that would be good!

That would be more than good, it would be utterly fantastic, although I would miss him on PM.

Love the trailer for More4 News.
Basically we have Sarah Smith and Jon Snow in the studio as the credits roll on C4 News and Sarah thinking:
"I hope one day I could anchor my own bulletin, perhaps on a new digital channel from 4. I wonder what Jon thinks"
It then cuts to Jon humming the C4 News theme and playing with his tie, then back to Sarah "He's busy. I'll ask him later"

As a poster correctly said elsewhere the More 4 site has been launched...and it has a M4 News section!

And now, over to Sarah with our big news tonight. The launch of More4 News.
More4: Launching the channel
==================================
Tonight - as well as Jon Snow live from Pakistan, plus the reporting of our team close to the centre of Saturday's quake, we'll be getting a personal view of the disaster from a Pakistani journalist living and working there.
Naziha Ali is one of many journalists across the globe who contribute to Channel 4 News with their stories and pictures. Now we're asking her to give us a different perspective on this catastrophe.
We're also in search of the perfect answer. To what question you might ask? Well the question is the one that David Cameron wrestled with so uncomfortably this weekend -- 'have you ever smoked cannabis'?
Apparently all four of his rivals have issued 'emphatic' denials that they've ever taken drugs. Mr Cameron chose a different form of words: 'I did lots of things before I came into politics which I shouldn't have done. We all did.'
Not sure that quite does the trick, not least because you do want to know what the 'lots of things' are. But is there a better answer, other than perhaps the evasive 'That's my private business, go away'?
Our reporter John Sparks has been in search of that elusive 'perfect answer' examining useful historical precedents, and canvassing opinion from those in politics. If you've got us a better answer, let us know.
Issue of the Day
====================
We'd also like to know if it matters anyway! Our issue of the day is: Does it make you less likely to vote for a politician if they smoked cannabis as a student?
Log on to http://www.channel4.com/more4news to take part in our daily survey.
The website will also tell you how to send in your video comments via webcam or 3G mobile phone. We'll run a selection at the end of the programme so this is your chance to get your views on TV.
Until 8pm, that's all from the More4 News team.

Slightly shambolic beginning - the sudden cut from the trailer to the channel was a bit un-nerving.
Dog isn't too bad neutral and not overly obtrusive.
Can't help but think that they are 'lucky' to have a big story to cover tonight though.
