That all seems very odd. It was a requirement of the IBA circuit routing that no ITV company would be more than one circuit switch ‘away’ from a source of ITN precisely for the purposes of news flashes etc. I wonder if this was very late at night and the duty newscaster at ITN had already left the premises and there was no-one there to actually present a newsflash? A rip and read locally perhaps?
BTW, Malcolm is one of the very nicest people you could ever wish to meet.
