Rebecca is a far more versatile presenter if you ask me, Kimberley is fine on the overnights but really don't rate her on anything off-script (breaking news, interviews etc)
Not a big fan of Eric Johnson, however Amanda Walker was on this afternoon. Don't think I've ever known her to present Sky News? Is this a new thing or a one off?
And who now covers her Sunday slot after Ridge on Sunday? from 12-2
Since Sophy Ridge on Sunday launched, she now presents that programme plus Sky News Tonight on Fridays.
I don't believe there is now a fixed presenter for Saturday/Sunday, other than Niall Paterson usually does along with Gillian Joseph 5-8, Anna Jones 8-12.
However, it is common that Tom Macleod, Claudia-Liza Armah, Sam Naz & Rebecca Williams are likely to appear in the slots that were originally Sophy's.

Do you know if Amanda Walker was a one off today? As she usually reports in Washington

She'll be filling in on Sky News Tonight for much of this week. Beyond that, I'm not at liberty to say.
Schedule Updates
= Gamal is 3.00pm to 7.00pm Friday
= Niall is 10.00am to 2.00pm Saturday
= Niall is 11.00am to 2.00pm Sunday
= No assigned presenter 2pm to 5pm Saturday/Sunday
Gamal used to be quite common on the weekend 2pm to 5pm slot but these days can more often be found on higher profile bulletins as cover during the week, I reckon he's probably presented almost every single bulletin time/type from Osterley in the past month or two.
However in a little while there will be other changes but not at liberty to say any more.
Amanda Walker
From what she said she's having a little bit of a dabble so most likely short term
Eric Johnson
I just think his voice is a bit shouty and too loud and over emphasizes every word it feels tiring to listen to that at midnight, it gets irritating very quickly.

That official schedule break down above is officially correct but I'd venture a guess it is rarely like that week-to-week due to time off/cover as previously mentioned.
And yes, Gamal along with Tom seem to have presented pretty much every single slot on the channel in the last few months. Sunrise through to News at Ten. Looking forward to seeing more of Amanda.
