[Steve in Pudsey]

I seem to recall there was some cockup with the NorthWest involving a rescheduled late bulletin falling off the air and being replaced with Leeds, Steve Saul tweeted it was to do with scheduled switches taking place for the SLS. But I think that predates the BBC1 North continuity.

I guess in the example you describe if the SLS was directly after Look North it wasn't worth opting back to network for the trails but staying soft opted.

I wonder if these days the local announcement would be because it was burned on to the front of the programme, regardless of where it was played out from? Although they presumably would have to produce a version without it for network and the red button.
