Not sure what was so notable about that evening or film that meant that it was recorded and kept so much.

I think it might have been the network premiere of The Postman Always Rings Twice (or the Jack Nicholson version, anyway). Coincidentally, BBC1 had shown the original, much less racy, version the week before.

And I'm pretty sure it was established on the blue place that Granada did have at least some network playout duties in daytime, particularly around the early 90s.

Certainly, they took their turn to playout certain films for the network - hence Charles Foster reading the newsflash in this instance.
