During the end credits to Eastenders on BBC1 Scotland tonight the network feed (which Scotland took) promoted Holby City with a short clip ending with the words 'Coming Next' - good on the Scottish Announcer though who had been rudely interrupted by the trailer who quickly apologised for the wrong information as it was River City next!

Don't BBC Scotland take a clean feed?
They usually do, without a Scottish ECP added.
I thought he did very well considering the "wrong information, there", and even managed to push the (pointless) 'Dress an EastEnder' feature on the website - to the count of zero.
Depending on other commitments, there may not be a clean feed available for a particular junction. IIRC they only have one clean feed line most of the time, selectable to carry one of a number of feeds. That line could be busy supporting a BBC 2 opt, or in use elsewhere to record a programme for later tx.

No.
They now have two different clean feeds available to them all of the time, plus the 'dirty' network feed.
The 'BBC 1 programmes only' clean feed is always available to them, and is the one which should have been put to air in this case.
The other clean feed is a ‘Switchable’ one, which can have the 'network mixer output minus network announcer' selected to it.
It's likely that the problem was caused by the announcer in Scotland either having the ‘Switchable Clean Feed’ with 'mixer o/p minus n/w announcer' to air, or having the dirty network feed to air.
Another possibility is that the desk was not ‘in-circuit’ (i.e. opted), and that the announcer after noticing this quickly popped ‘in-to-circuit’.
Whatever the cause, it's one of those mistakes that can occur very easily; all it takes is a momentary lapse of concentration. Full points go to the announcer for realising the mistake and making amends.
at least it Unique as it got difference programmes compared to it main fed, it Far better than ITV or even STV, at least there have the balls to move programmes to where ever there WANT!
