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.”

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.

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