I understand that mistakes will be made (I've made more than most, I'm sure) -- but why on earth were those titles even loaded onto the system for playout? How does a title sequence not approved for broadcast, and already replaced by an entirely new design, end up on a server waiting to be cued for transmission?

Not defending, just trying to explain: different versions of titles may well be left on servers for different reasons. The most obvious being they were used for piloting. It's quite normal to leave files in the systems for a while. The problem here seems to be that the file was still linked in the running order. The template in OpenMedia should have been properly checked. Or maybe someone dragged a position from an old library at short notice.
