Later

Bouncy Laura Kuennssberg is up and about tweeting on her first week back at the BBC.


It's a move to a smaller audience for Laura. Friday's Newsnight, with Kirsty Wark, attracted 530k viewers (3.3% share). On Friday the ITV News bulletin at 6.30pm got 4.26m (21.1%), and the 10pm returned 2.14m (11.1%). The BBC rarely shares Newsnight figures.

This half-term week, the presenting line-up is Victoria Derbyshire, Paxo, Paxo, Kuenssberg, Wark. What we'd really like to see is a cost-per-viewer figure, to judge what improvements the Katz makeover has brought to this expensive niche programme.  This would, of course, run counter to the Yentob View of Appropriate Public Service Broadcasting Transparency.
