Think Tom still did general announcing shifts around that time - but this not long before he left Thames and moved to LA for a while.
Pretty sure I read somewhere he felt that with in-vision being increasingly confined to overnights, it was time to move on. And for sure, you wouldn’t have seen Philip Elsmore or Peter Marshall working the night shifts aside from election time.
One duty that was part of the overnight announcers’ shifts - before ITN launched its bulletins - was to read a headline summary (and Tom had been a reader for Radio 1 and Radio 2 in the past)
