Although surprisingly I can’t think of many Newsnight presenters who have also presented network bulletins.
Emily did indeed. So too, if I remember righty, did Kirsty (albeit from presenting an edition of Breakfast News through to Newsnight).
It’s often a good chance - in the summer - to screen test presenters in different settings. Not necessarily an indicator of where they’re heading but useful to see where works (and crucially, where doesn’t).
As for Victoria, she’s an real asset. They obviously tried (pre lockdown) with the 9 (am) idea but I really wouldn’t be surprised to see her in a much more prominent role shortly.
