They do make it sound very seamless, I always knew they had to stop speaking at :29 and :59 past, but when I found out about the hard posts in other programmes, and of course the illustrated bulletin, I was surprised how I never noticed they always seemed to have a little pause or end a segment at the same time!
I think in all my time listening I've only ever heard three cock-ups with the hard posts, which is pretty good going.
When I was there (a good 15 years ago) the WS hard posts were
XX00 (programme menu)
XX01 (start of news bulletin)
XX04 (news bulletin opt out for partners)
XX06 (start of programme)
XX15 (trailer/s)
XX16 (start/continuation of programme)
XX29 (trailer/s)
XX30 (news summary)
XX32 (start/continuation of programme)
XX45 (trailer/s)
XX46 (start/continuation of programme)
XX52 (start/continuation of programme)
XX59 (trailer and TOTH sequence)
