That reminds me, in 94, when they had that strike they showed a very long film in place of Breakfast News, which to a 7 year old at the time was very confusing. Again in 1998 when Breakfast News had been replaced with News 24 and Call My Bluff, which was weird to see in the morning.
Shows how times have changed that at that poinr they didn't feel they could simulcast News 24 for the whole Breakfast News slot, they mixed it up with some daytime repeats too!
I think that was probably because News 24 also went to back half hours as well... (They only did a front half hour of News on News 24 as well ISTR)

That mention earlier of out-of-vision news reminds me that North West Tonight did that in the strike in 1994, with a still NWT caption on screen when someone, presumably a guy from GMR as I never heard him before or since, read it out.
