My Guess Babita will move to E and we will just have standard half hour bulletins. Just a guess though!
Most likely, but was more questioning/commenting on whether Newsday would broadcast in the normal manner with split presentation in Singapore. They might be able to do that better in E than from B (given previous broadcasts of "Beyond 100 Days" and Outside Source being able to at least communicate with correspondents and presenters elsewhere), but we'll see what happens
Hard to say if Newsday will broadcast normally at 12am once the News Channel has stopped broadcasting from there. I guess we will find out in an hour's time!

Did the Salford programme have to continue on air until they could?
It did, and was quite an enjoyable listen - Stuart Maconie went a bit off-piste with the playlist. They still managed the news (from London) at 1630, presumably because that's permanently routed.
Should be pointed out that Steve Lamacq's show was actually coming from Studio 13 recording studios, rather than Wogan House - presumably there wouldn't have been any problems if Lammo was in his normal home.
Yes - what first alerted to me to the problem was when 6 Music couldn't hand over from Salford to Wogan House until about 1645.

They were probably all having a little boogie to the lyrics of this song...
it feels like a major system failure here, they've done well to keep the services going.

There might have been, if the network switch (to put the relevant studio to air) is done on BNCS (it almost certainly is) then there would have been a problem.
For example Radio 4 couldn’t get the pips- they would normally be selected on BNCS. There is an ISDN back up available for Big Ben - were it not out of action - but there isn’t for GTS.

I suspect there would have been, Lamacq's show would be an outside source into a Wogan House studio today, the issue was with getting that studio on air.
In fact they might have given up and routed the OB via Maconie's studio in Salford (especially as Marc Riley's show at 7 was presumably from the same studio).
In ye olden days, the Mark and Lard show used to be an OS into a Radio 1 studio, where a tech op would sit with an open fader on Manchester and fade up the news when required. Nowadays they hand the network over, usually via a soft-opt kind of arrangement where the on-air studio takes the next studio as an OS, fades them up for the handover then either switch control using BNCS or by requesting London Control Room to switch it.
