Someone from the BBC on the MHP mailing list has just said this:
'In the early hours of Friday morning, there may or may not be interesting
things to see on BBC One between 3am and 4am..!'
Anyone know what's going on?!

Asa on the MHP mailing list has just said:
01:15 BBC News 24
BBC One joins the BBC's rolling news channel for a night of news, with
bulletins on the hour and the headlines every 15 minutes. Widescreen.
03:00 This is BBC News 24
The Testcard replaces the BBC's rolling news channel. BBC News 24 will
resume transmission at 4.00am, with the latest national and international
news from the BBC, presented by Martine Croxall.
Yeah, happens every so often for 'engineering work'.
The last time it happened we had 'BBC One is having a break now for a few hours for essential engineering work.'
(BBC One Scotland actually mentioned the words 'closing down' and 'goodnight' - both of which are obviously banned by people at TVC!)
There's a clip on TV World I think showing one close down juring the flags era. I guess they'll go to the weather, then at around 2.59 cut to the N24 titles into a BBC One menu and a 'for now...goodnight.' recorded announcement.
Unless the director is a fan of idents that night, I doubt we'll see anything special.
Cheers, Asa

Where is the MHP-list by the way?
Is it a Yahoo!Group?
Anyway, can someone tell me how to sign up to it please?
So why have they chosen News 24? Or will News 24 on digital platforms take the BBC world feed and World come from N9 instead of N8 overnight?

No. Don't forget that N24 and World team up from 0100 anyway and it's a standard annual test they do regarding transmitters - it's got nothing to do with the studios themselves. Although is odd they've mentioned N24 - I've never heard of the actual channel doing this test! Surely a mistake?
