Tasmin said: "I'm very excited to be part of the new look Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three. I'll be keeping our audiences up-to-date during the week with all the latest news, just the way they like it. It's going to be short and sharp news bulletins on the hour and I've literally got only 60 seconds to deliver!"
Μύ
Andy said: "I'm really looking forward to being part of the new look Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three and, of course, giving the people the news they need to know in a minute. This will be a bit of an adventure for me as I have mainly done radio before!"

She was also the London correspondent for PTV Prime, reporting the UK's top news stories to a worldwide audience.
