It seems the rumours doing the rounds about Nick Speed’s replacement at ITV Wales are true, although there has been no official confirmation as far as I can tell.
Nick’s replacement is Adrian Masters, according to Gareth Hughes, ITV Wales Political Commentator who confirmed the news on Twitter a few days ago. Adrian is of course currently BBC Wales’s political correspondent and Dragon’s Eye and Conference Live Presenter.
It’s certainly a coup for ITV Wales and a loss for BBC Wales’s Political team, because Adrian is a well regarded journalist and someone who is also well liked by fellow journalists and politicians.
It’s also a sign that ITV Wales is looking to the future and has managed to pull back from the brink just a few months back.
If the news is confirmed officially there will be a shake up at BBC Wales, so who will get his Dragon’s Eye seat and who will front BBC Wales conference live coverage, and was Adrian’s leaving the reason why a number of presenters fronted/ were tested on the Politics Show Wales over the last few weeks of its current run?
On a personal note I will miss Adrian and Betsan Powys shameless flirting on screen, it was often more entertaining than the stories they were covering.Any source
