BBC Scotland Will be broadcasting 30mins early from 18.35 to allow the start of its Hogmanay line up to start at 10pm. This means the BBC national news will be at 21.30 In Scotland, while the network will be at 10pm.

Im not sure if the network will be live or either one will be live or recorded. etc ?

This has happened for quite a few years now. Both are live.

On previous occasions when Scotland has had it's own schedule, such as when a bank holiday isn't the same as in England when they have a 30 min edition of the national news and Reporting Scotland, they'll simply air the 'national' bulletin on BBC One Scotland and the News Channel.

The same thing is also happening on ITV. ITN will be providing two live news bulletins on New Year's Eve - one for STV at 11pm and another for the rest of the UK at 11.55pm.

Yep - used to happen regularly when Scotland had different football matches to show at the weekend. There would be two bulletins - one for Scotland, one for the rest of the UK. These days both are simulcast on the New Channel I believe, but in the early 00s they would both come from the separate national news gallery, so only viewers in Scotland would see their one (as it wasn't available on another outlet as now)

Happened in NI once too - seemed to be a lot of money to pay for a relatively small number of viewers.
ITN has done this too with UTV and, I think the Scottish regions.

Also something about ITN, GMB will be on New Year Eve and not again until the 5th,the New Years Eve edition will be at 7am instead of 6.

Don't think it will have cost much more. The crew were there to output it, the bulletin was produced already and just needed a bit of updating. If there was a live in it then there could have been a marginal additional satellite cost (though from memory one of them was an 'earlier I spoke to and asked' type turnaround) The circuits to get it unilaterally to Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow etc. would have been internal (and low cost)

In fact they could presumably have contrived to use the usual clean feed circuit rather than booking a circuit specifically? That might have needed the other nations to go into the net1 feed once the network programme was on air.

Think each nation has their own clean-feed - but I suspect they would have booked a circuit to get talkback.

I think the three BBC nations have totally assignable (by them) feeds from Red Bee's playout router and server ports in W12 ?
