Here is version 8 of the bbc1 nightlight red slate
Used from 1930 to when announcer says goodnight, and all day at weekends

Thus version first appeared on Monday 16 October.






Notice the changes to the red slate noticed seem to be happening once every 6 weeks on a Monday.

I noticed last night that these red notices are also NOT carried on screen now during

BBC news simulcast overnight
BBC breakfast (weekends)
1928-1930 Monday-Friday
and during Strictly Come Dancing 

We knew if the first 3, but I think I now realise why it's not on screen during Strictly.

T&C's are displayed at the bottom of the screen during this programme. I was under the impression that these T&C's must be visible by law, and as such, if the red slate was on screen during this programme, they would be invisible to done viewers  The slate appears only when continuity us on duty, so it does not appear until 1000 on Saturdays or from repeat of MOTD on Sundays, as continuity is not in for introducing Breakfast at the weekend. Because they can't turn it off for parts of programmes, it has to. R off screen for Strictly so that everyone sees the T&C's. 

I wonder can someone confirm if that is correct. Thanks 

Also the blog has been updated at the bottom of this page, dated 13 October.
