Timothy Arnold (born 1960) was the first solo news anchor on Sky News in the UK. Born in Slough, United Kingdom, he joined the ''Windsor, Slough and Eton Express'' newspaper in 1979 as an indentured apprentice, and a chance conversation with disc jockey Tony Prince resulted in an invitation to edit Radio Luxembourg's English language news bulletins on a freelance basis. A teleprinter breakdown meant he had to read one bulletin by telephone, and he became the first journalist ever to read a bulletin on the station. ==Career== Arnold worked for a number of radio and television stations before moving to Plymouth Sound Radio in 1983, where he became assistant head of news, and relaunched the flagship evening news and current affairs programme, Plymouth Sound Reports. He moved to BBC Belfast as a reporter in 1987, where he gained a world exclusive when he discovered and interviewed the priest acting as the intermediary between the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Provisional IRA over the dispute surrounding the burial of Larry Marley. Arnold then moved to London where he worked as a reporter for BBC TV's London Plus programme, under the guidance of producer Neil Hughes, at the BBC's aging Lime Grove Studios, and as a newsreader for the British Forces Broadcasting Service, BFBS. He was invited to join the launch team of Sky News in 1989, where he was the first solo news anchor. He also reported on the IRA killing of Eastbourne MP Ian Gow, and was beaten up on camera during the poll tax riot in London's Trafalgar Square. Arnold's assailant was later jailed. He left the station after it merged with British Satellite Broadcasting, to become a freelance public relations consultant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim Arnold (newsreader)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
