It usually is.
On occasion if the schedule is changed a live announcement is made to cover it, which happened when Gordon Brown left Downing Street last year which pushed EastEnders off the BBC One schedule meaning there was no repeat of it on BBC Three so an entirely different announcer from the previous link two minutes earlier introduced an entirely different programme.
Same principle seems to apply to the credits of Angry Boys, unless somebody's fabricating social media posts.

The IPP design still bugs me. I've noticed the announcer seems to be live, as they're reading out Facebook posts and tweets, between shows. I thought it was all pre-recorded?

There's a real live BBC Three announcer tonight - the lovely Collette

This is not strictly true. This Tuesday was the second week for live announcemnts on BBC Three, in the case of the Gordon Brown scenario you paint above, the new announcements are pre-recorded last minute by another announcer in the building, but not done live.

I've seen that a couple of times across the BBC. I guess it's when the continuity announcer forgets to mention the programme has strong language.
Could also be if the warning is requested by compliance/legal/whoever at a late stage and there is no time to re-record the announcement - certainly works better than using a generic "the following programme contains strong language" announcement instead.
About 15 minutes of swearing, before BBC3 decide to state the obvious

that was much more interesting to be honest
I never knew Family Guy was so popular.
The outrage on Twitter is like when EastEnders was dropped to show coverage of the handover to the new government last year!

Well ten years ago today a new national news bulletin was launched by the BBC ... 60seconds on the then BBC Choice now BBC Three ... you can see what it looked like from the first week on this blog post from Sam one of the current presenters ...

Blimey, it was a pretty slow affair back then.

I much prefer it if I'm honest, the music is particularly catchy - this was later used by those ITV2 showbiz updates so I assume it must be library stuff.
Also came from that bizarre period when Choice had a load of new content which must've been earmarked for Three - even their idents of the time could have been BBC Three idents.

If you're referring to the music on the original 60 Seconds, it's actually a track by Faithless. It's called Machines R Us. I think it's better than the current music - it has much more of a punch. However, it probably costs less to play a library track now than pay royalties to a artist.
