I wonder why they pre-announced it before announcing it formally with the pre planned script, when BBC One was already in the coverage
The formal announcement with the grey News Report screen was so the other channels could opt in
Presumably they could have done the grey screen and opted in to the first announcement though considering all channel controllers had about 6 hours notice
Considering Liz Truss wasn't told until 4:30 (said just now on Sky) theres no way TV directors knew 6 hours before.
