Channel 4 News (I) (1982– )
8/10
Excellent News Programme

I agree with the above poster; Channel 4's flagship 7.00pm evening news slot is a very well presented and researched programme. Jon Snow is excellent in his role as newscaster/inquisitor, being stubborn without arrogance and entertaining without an excess of 'personality'. He is very much 'the professional'. Not rude like Paxman, but at the same time he is not placatory either.

I like his laid-back style of walking about the studio space, and the multi-camera arrangements that he takes in his stride. Other members also deserve praise. I should particularly like to single-out Zeinab Badawi. No longer there, now; but as well as a fine news-reader she was also the snappiest female dresser in town. Smart, slick and oh-so-professional - without so much as a hint of cleavage (though the lipstick was sometimes a little garish, dear).
