News bulletin on BBC Two at 10pm, according to Gary Lineker.

Very surprised they aren't shifting the football.

But will it be a short newsflash to cover the statement (with the ten following the football.)

This is going to be one of those Wimbledon style scheduling cock ups where as much disruption as possible is caused.

Gary Lineker said BBC Two is the place for tonight's BBC News at Ten.

BBC One is continuing with ET between Southhampton & Derby County.

Deja vu on this - the news will just be delayed as always, and may actually play to the advantage of the news channel who can take the statement first.

I don't think they'd dare miss it on BBC1, if it was a major, historic announcement they'd never hear the end of it

I guess they’ve decided to never hear the end of it.

Not worth the gamble, she has a history of saying very little at these things.

Just seen the PM's car sweep into Downing Street live on Sky News.

Been to the Palace anyone?

Interesting decision. I know when there used to be football opt outs in Scotland Extra Time would be on BBC Two, but would then go BACK to BBC One for pens, overriding the regional news, in order to rejoin the network for Newsnight.

Two Scotland would have surely been able to carry the Ten and Reporting Scotland?

BBC News at Ten on BBC Two.

Will it just be a newsflash on Two?
If it’s the full Ten, what will BBC One fill with, as presumably the Ten would be expected to be extended tonight?
