Here in the South East we got a SE branded ident and the CA mentioned the name of the programme.
Why are people posting things like this thread, the ginofish thread (now sadly deleted) and the BBC strike thread in The Newsroom when they would be more suited to the other forums?
To be honest, I classed it both as News / Current Affairs & Regional.
If it had been a 'Network' entertainment/drama programme, I would've put it in the 'other forum' !
I have watched the Pope prog off Sky Plus & I'm sure it went Network trail, then 'This is BBC One in the Midlands' etc!
The network CA at 7.30 announced that EastEnders was on, but no mention of the programme on now in the London region, which is Saints and Scroungers. Did the network announcer do this for all English regions?

I expect so, after all that's the point of not mentioning the next programme... so it can be networked!

Seems a bit odd though. If any other viewers saw the London ident because their region had failed to opt for some reason then presumably they would have also seen at least part of the London programme as well. The London CA could have mentioned the name of the programme.

I'm assuming that Martin was refering to the pointer rather than the ident directly before the programme?

Ahh, that does make more sense.
BBC South East opted out of network on a Sunday afternoon a few months ago (a Christmas episode of Murder She Wrote was showing on network) to show a D-Day programme. They covered up the whole junction before the programme with regional promos to avoid having to recorded their own 'pointer'. it has been noted on here before but on that occasion the regional programme was 30 minutes and the network programme was 45 minutes so BBC South East showed a 15 minute filler about The Railway Children before the D-Day programme. The EPG only listed The Railway Children programme, the fact that the D-Day programme was on afterwards only appeared in the description of the Railway Children programme. A limitation of the regional EPG? I guess it can only replace one programme with another and not one programme with two others. I wonder what would happen if a long regional programme replaced two short network programmes.

Doesn't affect the Nations EPG though.

(I suppose London/Network will play out it's programme but will BBC NI play out it's own ident?)
BBC NI covers all continuity with "Northern Ireland" branded idents, and "Northern Ireland" rebranded network trails and local trails on BBC 1 between 6am and approx 2am, and on BBC 2 between 10am and 1am. Those times are approx' and vary slightly due to local programme/timeshift requirements.

When the North have sometimes opted out for The Super League Show at 10.35 and rescheduled the rest of the evening, rather than simply replace one show with another, the EPG is sent wonky. I seem to recall they were showing a film on the network and the North were screening it an hour later, but the EPG had the same gap as the length of the film and the billing was something like "THE SUPER LEAGUE SHOW followed at 11.05 by Whatever The Film Was", then when the film finished on the network the EPG changed to "WHATEVER THE FILM WAS continued followed by Sign Zone" and so forth.

EPG fun with BBC One Midlands tonight. The Sky EPG shows that they have taken out 'Who do you Think You Are?' and replaced it with a Pope Special (both these shows run for 45 minutes according to the EPG and bbc.co.uk). The CA on the regional ident in to the Pope Special said that they will be showing 'Who do you Think You Are?' in 30 minutes followed by "tonight's film". I wonder what will happen.

Time Shift? Like 2005? Regional Ident Variants. The C/A in question was Michael Collie, who had just provided the late MT (with a "Back in 3 minutes" end tag)
