This would almost certainly have been a case of the switch at BT Tower not being booked for long enough. (The 'Channel 4' on the bars is a coincidence - it's just the fourth output of the test signal generator)
I recall seeing this. It cut to Tower's bars bang on the top of the hour, so it was indeed a booking to the DR playout facility that didn't have any buffer. Which was unfortunate as that night they ran about 15 seconds over the hour.
