Pretty sure they all did when necessary.
Tyne Tees did a few of them during the Meadow Well riots in 1991 for example.
For obvious reasons, during the troubles, Ulster television could well have broadcast a regional news flash. Did any other itv companies broadcast a news flash just for their region?

Going back to adverts, using a still with a voiceover, which regions done the voiceovers live, and which done them pre recorded? And, which done a mix of the two? There's some Grampian adverts from 1977, featuring three of these. Two are voiced by one announcer, the third, for Currys, by another person.

I recall Mr Bluecontina saying Southern's were normally pre-recorded. The audio from NAB carts, and using cue tones to fire off the next slide etc on the slide scanner ?
I remember seeing one on TSW for a store in Plymouth city centre, being done in the then (1970s/80s) cinema style, ' ......just 200 yards from this television station....'

As amusing as that is, one suspects it was an in-joke that accidentally escaped 'into the wild'.

Yes. It ensured a different voice to the duty announcer which was not permitted, or if not ‘permitted’ considered better practice. Around Christmas time etc when the grown ups were away they were sometimes recorded to the ACR for convenience.

I was surprised to learn that STV did them both live, and using the duty announcer. I thought both of those were a no-no with the IBA?
The IBA certainly didn't allow ads featuring the same 'talant' that were in the programmes those ads were in, nor did they allow national BBC or ITN newsreaders to perform in TV (or radio) ads, full stop.

Mrs Bluecortina says we are correct - the IBA did not permit this practice, why STV did so is a question for them.
Generally these ads were scheduled well in advance so the morning duty announcer would be used to record the ad sometime during a quiet period during the day for later transmission in the evening when the late duty announcer would be on duty.

Was there more leeway from the IBA for the smaller companies (UTV in particular) who may have lacked the necessary resources, and could only broadcast these type of advertisements live?
Thinking of Ulster Television, one of their announcers, who freelanced for the station before taking up a full-time contract, was the face of a local supermarket chain's TV advertising campaign (and was replaced by a BBC NI journalist - at least for their in-store promotional videos!)
I imagine those supermarket chain advertisements weren't scheduled during shifts when this announcer was on freelance duty, in a similar way to Jennifer Clulow's Cointreau adverts not appearing on TVS or TSW when she took up announcing shifts at those stations?

I'd forgotten about the Jennifer Clulow thing.
Even the smallest ITV companies surely had NAB cart machines to play in audio 'snippets', although (my ex ILR radio colleagues of the era tell me) they were a nightmare to get to conform to IBA COP. ?

The Saturday teatime results programmes in most regions, ah. Here in STV land, we had Scotsport results, which was broadcast in place of the ITV results service. But when the 1992-3 season started, the ITV results service was no more, as they didn't have the premier league, and so I think Scotsport results went as well.
The various ITV companies had their tea time shows, which from 1992, consisted only of football league action. Granada Goals Extra, Central Goals Extra. Which other companies, from say 1981 onwards, had saturday teatime results shows with goals?
And there is a video on youtube, about the best, and worst, of Granada Goals Extra, with lots of technical cock ups! The fact that, ocasionally, the presenter could get it wrong, didn't help. Bob Greaves, on his third edition of the show, starting to get things wrong before halfway, including getting results wrong, names wrong etc.
