[London Lite]

The BBC London headlines at the top and mid point went out on BBC One England HD again today. News Channel opted out for their regular Sportsday inserts.

Since London now use the same gallery as the Six this makes complete sense. Seems like London don’t have to opt out anymore for the headlines, while the NC now does. It used to be the other way around.

So does the network feed now contain London headlines? Meaning they would air if any one region fails to opt?

They used to be able to do different things on BBC One network and BBC One London from Studio A for the second part of the 8pm update so it should have been possible to arrange for sport to feed NC1 and the London heads (pre-recorded?) to BBC London, then have NC1 cut away to the News Channel at 6.30.

I don't know whether London effectively being opted out for the whole of the Six has implications for things like subtitles?

I suspect with BBC One HD in the regions seemingly being imminent it wasn't worth the extra complexity to set all of that up.

London heads are live.
