I'm not sure but don't forget that production/technical staffing levels at weekends will generally not be at the levels to cope with a very busy news day. So I would imagine they may need some additional support to handle the regular bulletins, let alone anything additional.
Do we know the timetable for when the vote will be on Saturday?
Both BBC One & ITV are showing live sport of various types until teatime on Saturday
BBC One can easily extend their teatime news as they’ve got Final Score airing up to 5:30 and it regularly rushes off air earlier than that. They won’t want anything encroaching on Strictly though.

It's going to be a bit tricky for them with it being a Saturday, isn't it? Like you say, I can't imagine the BBC (or ITV for that matter) would want to drop Saturday programmes in favour of rolling coverage of Brexit. Could you imagine the public outcry? I wonder if they will just interrupt for a quick newsflash (if necessary) and point viewers to the BBC News Channel? Don't know what ITV would do - maybe the odd extra newsflash in commercial breaks?
