NathanS 16 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Seems to be another round of cuts across BBC News lately. Probably linked. I did notice Chris reading this weekends bulletins, nice to hear him pop up from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCAaron 20 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I was massively disappointed when Chris Smith didn’t join Greg James on the breakfast show as since found the breakfast not as good as his drive time also a shame they lost Grace Hopper who’d been good to have produced breakfast think Greg does lack having a team to banter and converse between on days without guests and many items Could see he could end up doing news presenting either somehow involved in 5Live or BBC Rad 4 or LBC Newsroom. Who knows could be behind the scenes of GB News Also could left and some others could leave with the odd decision when news-beat is based in Birmingham don’t think it will be the same as it would be difficult to get news presenters to pop up and join presenters for natural banter if coming from that distance think Newsbeat may soon feel abit of disconnect from R1 and R1X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanS 16 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Sounds like we may get one final sung "And that was the news" from Greg after the 15:30 update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
