It seems that ever since the merger, whenever the News at Ten doesn't begin at the TOTH or is truncated, the UK feed will take WNA and move HARDtalk to 2230 instead, so as to facilitate easier scheduling.

This is the case for tonight where the NaT is truncated to 20 minutes on BBC One. Why not utilize the UK opt presenter to fill time from the balcony instead just like other bulletins? Isn't that it was mentioned here that the UK opt presenter is on standby until 2300 every weekday?

HARDTalk was moved to 22:30 since there is no Newsnight today, not because of truncated Ten (although the two occasions usually coincide as they mean Bank Holiday).

Actually, what they did at 6 was very unusual by their new standards, one would expect for the UK feed to stay with the World, like they do on weekends. May be they could not get a spare presenter this late to do the same thing for 10? It's a Bank Holiday, after all.

Speaking of WNA, Azadeh Moshiri is settling in her second week of anchoring WNA and made her debut in that role on a UK feed today.


Marathon shifts remain in DC only on Saturday overnight, with all 6 hours done by a single presenter.

Even last Friday's overnight was split between Carl Nasman doing 11pm & 12am as well as Friday's WNA (Azadeh had her day off) and Sumi taking over from 1am.
