Fiona Armstrong
Fiona Armstrong (born 28 November, 1956) is a British television presenter.
Armstrong joined Border Television in 1983 as a reporter, before becoming a regular newsreader. Then in March 1987, she switched to ITN as a presenter on News at Ten, News at 5:45 (later News at 5:40) and other bulletins, including a brief stint on Channel 4 News.[1] In 1993, she was one of the launch team on the ITV breakfast station GMTV, but left after only a few months.
She later rejoined ITV Border and became the main presenter of their regional news programme Lookaround, as well as a presenter and producer on a number of regional programmes for the station, including River Journeys and Fiona on Fishing. Now a freelance broadcaster since 2008, Armstrong currently presents only the Friday edition of Lookaround.
On 25 February 2009, ITV Tyne Tees & Border is to launch, replacing ITV Tyne Tees and ITV Border. On 13 January 2009, it was announced Armstrong would not be made redundant as part of staffing cuts.[2] She will instead become a features correspondent for the new version of Lookaround.[3] It is thought she will continue as a freelance broadcaster.
