Past Presenters
Former presenters have included Tom Coyne, Kay Alexander, who retired in 2012 after almost 40 years continuous service, Alan Towers, David Stevens, Guy Thomas, Grant Mansfield, David Davies, Kathy Rochford (who transferred to the East Midlands), Sue Beardsmore, Matt Smith, Julian Worricker, Ashley Blake (who was sacked in August 2009 after being found guilty of wounding and perverting the course of justice), Bernardette Kearney, Pauline Bushnell, Michael Buerk and Suzanne Virdee.
Senior presenter Alan Towers's on-air departure in July 1997 (after twenty five years) brought about one of the most controversial moments in the programme's history when he shared indignant views on BBC management, describing them as pygmies in grey suits wearing blindfolds.
Former weather presenters include Sarah Cruickshank and Ben Rich.
