I think this (or similar!) was discussed very recently in another BBC thread - so apologies if I am treading old ground. I just came across this clip of the One from February 2002:

What struck me was whilst there was no regional opt in the headlines, it looks like there was supposed to be one (see 0:19 in the video). Now, I would have thought nothing of this, were it not for some later intros where there were no regional opts at all:

Yet an earlier intro (seen below) did have one:

Basically, what I am asking is: was the regional headline dropped around 2002? Obviously it was restored later on as can be seen here:
