You wouldn’t think they’d necessarily be short staffed newsreader rise as there were plenty of correspondents on this morning who could have filled in, or you’d get someone from ITV News, so seems like a conscious decision.
I don’t think it helps staffing wise that for at least the last few years, Charlotte doesn’t read the news whilst Ranvir presents and vice versa. It seems a slightly strange arrangement as both will do extra days reading the news if Ben/Susanna/Kate are presenting, but not each other. I’m not really sure who is considered the senior relief presenter of the two these days.
