David Garmston on Points West.
I've been watching him for 40 years & he is a very genuine & humane person, & cheers you up.

For me, on Look North, it used to be Claire Frisby and Lisa Ackroyd, but I haven’t watched it for ages so I couldn’t say now.

We are so lucky where we live because we have Peter Levy and the weatherman Paul Hudson. It's by far the best regional news programme in the country. We even watch it when we go on holiday.

They are a great double act Bukkie sometimes with the “pc” BBC I wonder how they get away with things.

I think It’s Claire Frisby who does the local news on BBC breakfast on midweek mornings Greyduster

Well, I always think poor David, does he ever get a break from the 10.30pm slot? However, I do like him, he seems warm and genuine.

I like the two who "defected" to ITV as well, Alex Lovell and Sabet Choudhury, they make a good team.

Another vote for Roger Johnson, he's lovely. I like Gamal Fahnbulleh too.

Unless you live in the same TV area as OP or any other posters, the names are entirely meaningless.

They are!

Yes, they are our local team too. A great double act.

Love Paul Hudson. Great weatherman!

On Midlands Today we have the lovely Nick Owen who many will remember from breakfast TV with Anne Diamond. He has been very ill recently and seems to be working part time now but he is a star and still knows how to deliver a joke or a pun.

Yes but I was just interested to know if others had favourite local presenters. DD who gets South Today likes Sophie Law and Jo Kent.

We liked Colin Briggs on Look North (for the NE) based in Newcastle. He had a caravan on the same site as my friend and kindly opened a bottle of fizz when we were struggling with it. He’s retired now.

Names which mean nothing to me!
If I mentioned any of the newsreaders on Look East, would you have even heard of them?

Yes if you mentioned Waseem Mirza, no for any of the others that I’m sure exist.
It doesn’t matter whether I’ve heard of them or not, I was just interested. Often, when we travel in the UK we watch the BBC news, which is how I heard of Waseem Mirza.
I’m sorry if anyone has felt obliged to answer. It was just a light hearted post.

Oh and for me, the excitement of learning at a BBC presenter is someone you taught all those years ago!

Look East, Suzie Fowler Watt. She’s been on there for years and comes across as a very competent and pleasant lady.

We have Peter Levy - I won't watch it because he is so rude to anyone he interviews!

Am I alone in not watching local TV news? I tend to get all my news from the BBC website and newspapers.

My favourite? North West Tonight presenters both Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson but especially
Roger Johnson, who always starts and finishes with “Thank you for your company.”

Ignore the grumpy comments. Like you said it was meant to be light hearted and we do travel around so still interesting even if it’s not your specific area.
Fortunately I’m also from the North West (we’re a friendly lot aren’t we!) and agree with your choices

Carol Malia look north Newcastle. Lovely lady. I love Tyne tees news as well Julia barthram and Helen ford. Just swap over!

Asad Ahmed, because he’s so immaculately dressed, we like to see what he’s wearing!

Another one for Suzie Fowler Watt. Always very polite and pleasant. She is also patron of day services where my lot go.

Big thumb up for BBC North West News. It has won many awards. And it's coverage of regional events is second to none.

Roger Johnson and Annabel Tiffin.Very professional and not full of themselves.

Only thing l can criticise. Is that we recently seem to have a different news reader every night. Dozens of them and they are all women?

Surely they can't all work for the BBC? The Salford Quays BBC building must be chock a block with people.
