I'd say The Papers will be on at 11:30pm & Sportsday will begin at 11:45 if this is the way things are going.
Who is presenting the news right now?
Clive (who would ordinarily be presenting the papers in a few minutes)
Don't world have an edition of sport today at 23:45 which would prevent a live sportsday as sport are currently only able to use their secondary studio.

Sorry but the BBC should be better prepared for this situation and should have a way to leave the News Channel unaffected. If they are not willing to move the football to 2 they need to find a way to get the delayed 10 out of studio E and into a vacant studio (or share with the London news in D).
You want to move the BBC’s flagship news programme out of the way into a makeshift location so The Papers can go ahead as planned?
It's pretty simple really. BBC were never going to move the FA Cup conclusion to BBC2 and the news was always going to follow the conclusion of the football.
The news channel comes last in the BBC's list of priorities which is fair enough. BBC want their flagship news show on BBC1 and don't want to annoy people by moving the end of the football to another channel. Whereas in the grand scheme of things delaying the Papers by 45 minutes isn't the end of the world.
I don't understand why the BBC News at Ten couldn't go out as normal on the News Channel with Huw - then just do it all again at 10.50pm for BBC One. Seems silly to have Clive present when Huw would have been fully prepared. It would mean those wanting their usual bulletin could have it at the usual time if they don't want to wait until the football finishes. Mission control would have known the Ten could play out in full on the News Channel with Extra Time lasting half an hour...
I think BBC News should have at least stuck in a quick 1-minute review of tomorrow front pages at 10:45 (Similar as the segment during weekends 0500 simulcast), that way those who want to look at the papers on NC don't need to wait until 11...
