The corner of the TV media playground where un-knowns hone their minor celebrity status skills at the beginning of their careers and established celebrities end theirs. Presenters need to be a 'Jack of all trades', part journalist, part interviewer, part comedian and part entertainer, not to mention needing good eyesight to keep up with the auto-cue..
It seems there is no precise definition as to what kind of programming constitutes a magazine programme. Interpretation can differ from producer to producer and format and content can differ immensely.
Generally speaking, it seems that the good magazine programme is made up of a team of viewer-trustworthy presenters, and a collage of fast moving news, interviews and features - But, nothing to deep.
