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.
This included the launch of “single story streams” in which rolling news coverage is dedicated to one story on iPlayer or the BBC News website, such as Donald Trump’s indictment in New York.

Ink (★★★☆☆), co-produced by Round House and Olney, combines a talented cast with titillating text for a thorough chronicle of Rupert Murdoch’s typically rude 1969 takeover of British tabloid The Sun.Cody Nickell, portraying the paper’s exacting editor Larry Lamb, supplies the steady, galvanizing force that drives the story of how Lamb, handpicked by Australian media baron Murdoch (Andrew Rein), assembled a ragtag squad of Fleet Street vets who would carry out Rupe’s directive to create a paper for the people.
