Sometimes that was because such “disposable” programmes were scheduled to “cover up” something going out to a different region - so Sport Today covering something like Focus on Africa. Matching this type of programming up then gives the main newsreader a break so they can leave the studio and have something to eat, etc. during a long shift.
