In past years BBC One Scotland has had a second network bulletin, exclusive to Scotland, presented by the same network presenter as the bulletin for the rest of the country, and simulcast on the NC.

Now that arrangements regarding the NC have changed, it seems they got the NC team to make sure there was a clean junction so they could drop in and drop out again, but it wasn’t “produced” by network as previously. Probably because getting a network bulletin going now requires firing up Studio B.

It gives Scotland news on the main channel at next to no cost and also fills a hole in the schedule.
