What does everyone make of Caroline Feraday on South East Today? She's coming across to me as one of those reporters who has absolutely no interest on what she's talking about but is putting on a professional manner.

As I said last week nok, I'm finding it impossible to take her seriously. Kaddy Lee Presson has more authority ( and a less squeaky voice) than miss F. The last thing I heard of La Feraday doing any reporting was for LBC over in LA , USA when she was discussing what UK chocolate bars were available in the states and some other equally weighty subjects. After that I only noticed her when she kept on appearing on ITV gaming show The Mint as a game show hostess.

Well done to CF for getting back with the bbc but how low is the bar at BBC News SE for being a reporter.


When she was on the beach at brighton in her white mac and everyone else was sunbathing she looked like a flasher ..Wink

She's appalling isn't she - no interest in the area - she's doing the job to tick the right journalistic boxes which might well get her into bigger things in London.
Heard about the latest viewing figures for Meridian south-east? 65,000 on the latest BARB ratings can't be bad can it!! Don't think it's ever been quite so LOW.

I think we should start a BRING BACK PHIL HORNBY campaign! Yes, I know he wasn't the best presenter and has gone back to political editor...but he's definately needed. Lets be honest, they don't cover many political stories these days.

When I last watched Meridian SE it was all a quick climpse of the headlines then continuous rubbish between Ian and Sangeeta...oh pop in a little bit of Sports News from Iain McBride and Weather (including the pointless in-studio chat with Martin or Gemma) and err...time for a competition? Yep, squeeze that in...now time for the ITV Evening News. Rolling Eyes Shame.

BBC South is opting out of Network this evening (after the Ten ?) for a programme about the Falklands War.

with a standard network branded Moon ident rather than the regional version

Did the programme go out in South East region as well? Maybe that's why they didn't brand the ident as South...
