BBC News Channel Reviewing If It Needs More Presenters As Five Female Anchors Remain In Limbo
Exclusive: The BBC is carrying out a review to establish whether it requires more news channel presenters as five senior female anchors remain in the dark about their future.
Deadline understands that BBC News management is assessing whether more on-screen talent is required to host its increased streaming output.
The BBC News channel relaunched in April, merging the UK broadcaster’s domestic and international news networks and boosting online content.
