2008 - It's use is dictated by the National Crime Agency now, nothing to do with the broadcasters. It's where a risk that a child will be seriously injured, killed or taken from the UK. It's accompanied by an All Ports PNC broadcast to various agencies such as the Border Force, Home Office Police Forces covering Airports and the British Transport Police.
I think the actual implementation may involve the broadcasters - or their playout or distribution partners though.

When was the last time we saw the 'missing child' system activated?? I remember it flashing up on ITV on a Saturday night (It'll be alright on the night???), around 10 years ago... but not since. Surely there has been use for it since then?
