How long have they had regular BBC ONE/TWO announcers doing the announcements on BBC THREE?

I see Phil Vowels is on tonight... I thought BBC THREE/FOUR had their own announcers?

I heard Phil do a programme support anno at the end of a programme on BBC3, but subsequent continuity was from that "yoof" sounding woman.

Makes the channel sound much more professional, just like the early BBC Choice days

Generally it happens if there's content advice (eg: warning, strong language) needed for a programme when there isn't already a pre-recorded announcer by one of the regular channel voices.
