Yeah, Tina does Breakfast Monday to Wednesday, and Nigel does Thursday and Friday, as well as the weekend.

Tina went to BBC North West from Radio City Liverpool. She now also does 60 seconds, as you pointed out.

Yeah, she may well have done. I remember that Kev said she was leaving for the BBC in the North West. I didn't see anymore of her for a while, until she popped up doing an OB for North West Today. Very shortly afterwards, the late Julia Sharp finished doing Breakfast bulletins, and Nigel started doing whole weeks of Breakfast and weekends for a while. Julie Taylor cropped up, and was shortly replaced by Tina. I actually thought she was called Tina Banks when she was on Radio, until I saw her on TV, and it said "Tina Bangs" on the aston!

I said in an earlier post that Nigel Jay would be doing last night's late news, which turned out to be at about midnight! I based this on previous Bank Holidays, where one presenter has done Breakfast, and another (usually Martin Henfield) does all the others. However, yesterday, they seemed to be trying to keep it as much like normal as possible. Tina did Breakfast, Nigel did Gordon Burns' usual bulletins, and Martin Henfield did his usual late bulletin. Gordon is back today though.
