It does rather spoil the effect of cutting to the regional presenter from the video wall of nations and regions though (at least for a nerd like me).
Good spot re the 10pm update. I suspect the pre-title handover and the main story intro are being pre-recorded because of camera positioning? I guess there's no camera op in the studio at 10 and the opening shot includes a zoom plus background animation. LN Leeds also have live weather in the 10pm, unlike many, so the cameras will need to be locked off in those positions. From memory they have three main cameras (with autocues) and one smaller non-autocue camera (may have changed since I was last in the studio!).
