Look North Leeds seem to have extended their Saturday teatime bulletin (for the Tour de France) by dropping the trails and mixing straight from their endcap into the network ident for the next programme. Which would have worked perfectly if the network announcement didn't start with "and that's in 40 minutes after..."

Ha !
I wonder if BBC Leeds informed Red Bee what they were going to do, (or indeed is there even a mechanism within the Beeb for that process to be formalised) ?
Might have been better for Leeds to have done their own CA into the next prog ?
There's nothing to stop you ringing/emailing the BBC (not Red Bee) scheduler in advance, or ringing the Playout 1 Editor (who is Red Bee) on the day to let them know and to ask them to keep the ident clean if possible (or discuss a way of making it work if not).
That is, of course, if you want them to know that you're doing it...
Last night's Look North special was one continuous programme by the way, not two as shown in the listings. This meant we didn't take the national weather, but did have a forecast from Paul instead.
The whole programme seemed to be recorded slightly earlier.

That caught me out as I expected it to be a 'main' bulletin followed by that, so I only recorded the latter and ended up missing the start.
It seems they opted out to show a Tony Blackburn on BBC Local Radio trailer, but the trailer opted out of was longer, so they crashed back into that 'This week on the BBC' trailer that they do in its final 10 seconds.
During the ident they ran a Yorkshire branded ident but kept the network announcement, then when the regional headlines came along it was read out of vision by a reporter rather than in vision by a presenter.
Hmm, it worked out alright in Hull, but they did show one of the "BBC in the North" trailers they sometimes do, stringing together clips of shows made in the North. Presumably the idea was for Leeds to show that as well, but they showed the wrong trailer.
