I couldn't observe a pattern though on under what circumstances will they take it live or tape-delayed... Often times when they take Newsnight live, it doesn't seem like there's a big story on that night. The decision feels random to me...
This doesn’t happen. If it did happen at one time, that’s a very long time ago.
Newsnight is now taken live. If the Ten starts late and/or overruns the start time of Newsnight, the UK stream leaves the Ten at a suitable point, filling with trails or a countdown and joins Newsnight as it starts on BBC Two. Some nights it’s easier to do this cleanly than other nights.
Same with Newsnight into Newsday.
