No - they're two separate charities with two different remits. And what would it achieve?
This probably wouldn’t be possible but couldn’t the BBC merge RND and CiN into one annual telethon a year?

But the last hour was always mostly repeats from earlier in the evening, there's no point just continuing for the sake of it.
Although the evening might end earlier, there's loads more in primetime than there ever was. The Got It Covered that's being repeated was first shown for ninety minutes right in the middle of primetime. You never got that in the past, nor the big pop concerts in recent years. In the late eighties and early nineties all you had in the way of build-up was a preview on CBBC on the Thursday and a half hour doc about where last year's money went which would be shown after ten o'clock. And The One Show has been about virtually nothing but over the last fortnight. You didn't get a highlights show over the weekend either.
It depends which past you are comparing with.
You tend to go back about 20 years, whereas others are comparing more with recent history 5-10 years ago.
Therefore there has been additional programming in the build up for many years now

The telethon night has gradually been reduced over the years, in the same way Comic Relief was reduced.
I remember the night would run until 2.00am, but now they give up at 12.30am and for the following 90 minutes show a repeat of a charity documentary they showed earlier in November - much the same way Comic Relief come to an end around 12.30am.

The last hour recap tends to be there to catch people coming home from an evening out.

I'm in a new flat with no satellite access so this year I won't have any way of not watching the NI version of BBC ONE. Can you simply change your region on iPlayer and live stream a different BBC ONE that way? If so, I might do that instead as the localised programmes mean you don't see the everything that network does and the local stuff is just not as interesting to me to watch.

Yes you can, although you could have just gone into iPlayer and checked rather than asking here?

But they don't have an NI opt out anymore, they come back to Northern Ireland the same time that the rest of the UK go to their regions. Thankfully they don't have a night with Hugo Duncan & Jackie Fullerton murdering songs and Stephen Nolan or Eamonn Holmes roaring rubbish down the camera.

BBC Scotland is showing extended highlights of the Scottish generated output from 10-10.30.

2010 was the year it all changed for Northern Ireland's opt outs of the night, it all vanished from the start of the new decade.
I do remember those horrible years where Northern Ireland would have the first ten minutes from London at 7pm, and then from 7.10 until 1.00am it was controlled from Studio A at BBC Blackstaff House, and on many years the Northern Irish viewers would miss a lot of the networked sketches and routines.
I remember being back in Northern Ireland in November 1996, and watching their output, and they dropped a hell of a lot of network routines, such as Paul McKenna hypnotising celebrities, I used to love Paul McKenna's shows on ITV at the time, and it was awful to miss such a big routine.
Often Northern Ireland would take network sketches and air them hours after the rest of England saw them, so for example a sketch shown at 8pm in England would not air until 11.30pm in Northern Ireland.
2010 marked the end of this nonsense, maybe due to financial cutbacks, as the budget to provide a full opt out service must have been reduced from 2010 forth.
