Think BBC are trying to cover rota now internally with less slots for those who are freelance like Chris.

Ah I didn’t know Chris was a freelancer.

Laura K unsurprisingly back on air with a live on the ten this evening. No signs of any defection to ITV to be seen.

She was also on Today this morning, with Nik Robinson making a point of welcoming her back from her holiday.

Not strictly TV related but Emma Barnett is taking over Women’s Hour Mon-Thurs from January, and it’s possible someone from TV moves over to replace her at 5Live. Naga Munchetty has filled in for her quite a bit over the last couple of months, and Katya Adler just finished a week or so covering the slot too.

Is her 5Live show based in Salford?

Is her 5Live show based in Salford?

Pre-Lockdown it was typically Salford based Mon, Tues and Thurs, with Wednesday coming from Westminster for a PMQs roundtable. So I don’t imagine location would be too prohibitive.

I could hypothetically see a shuffle of, say, Naga to Emma’s slot, Rachel Burden to Breakfast (TV) full time and Anna Foster to 5Live Breakfast, or something like that, if Naga ever wanted to move on.

Hilary Andersson popped up on the BBC 10pm news last night. Haven't seen her for years. Has she been away from the Beeb, or have I just not been paying attention?
