I worked in presentation for World and Prime 1998-2003, so that’s when my knowledge is rooted.
CBBC PRIME
The kids links were recorded in TC9 and previously Pres A and delivered weekly (I think) on tape. Prime presentation was also in TV Centre at the time I worked there. There were also generic links which were used for episode or schedule changes, plus they may have been all generic at the weekend. It’s a long time ago now! I think when cbbc and CBeebies launched in the U.K., prime rebranded as well but I don’t recall if it was just CBBC branded with CBeebies programming ..? There was no live simulcasting that I remember.
It was the former! Here's an example from early 2006:

I was watching the video for the CBBC bit, which was the 2005-2007 set by the way and I'm surprised that CBBC Prime still had pre-school shows (Balamory, Teletubbies (mentioned) and Tweenies (mentioned) in the video) dispite CBeebies being around at the time.
