They don't need to staff three galleries to do that playout these days, although it's slightly surprising that they still play it from Leeds rather than an HD capable region.

Not watching the programme or being in any of the three regions, is the SL show produced in HD by an indie? I don't know why I always thought it was a bit similar to LKO in production terms, using the local facilities.

Why does it need to be made in Leeds full stop could be the next argument, move it into the main BBC Sport Centre at Salford...

Edit: I also assume the continuity announcement and ident are part of the completed programme so the end of the junction is 'burned in' to the programme?
