Morning! 1st day on @BBCNewsnight - Salmond hitting back on Scotland keeping pound, flood waters could rise again, + Coop boss out and about

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.
