Anchor's Away!
ITV really did bite off a little too much when they signed up Mr Chiles for that crazy fee, eh? First, his Sunday evening chat show bites the dust, then the stint as anchor of Daybreak - and finally the role for which I assume he was mainly recruited is kaput...

All of the qualities they recruit for from the BBC are shackled and hamstrung by the constraint of the running time to meet the commercial breaks.

Applause to Guy for the thread title btw.
Hopefully Chiles will go back to the BBC, front up MOTD2 again, and turn it back to what it started out as; a genuinely different programme to its Saturday night edition.

I like Pougatch, it'll be a shame to see him wasting his time on ITV and having to trot out their Premiercentric pap during Champions League games.
I'm not sure Chiles has a natural home anywhere on telly anymore: not photogenic or smarmy enough for the commercial channels, and chased the money far too hard to be credible on the Beeb.

He'll be reduced to his last 317 grand.
My heart bleeds.
