notlive... thats how they make sure the timing is always correct, on the 10 o'clock news.

They always seem to do everything in a certain time gap and never run over except sometimes it does in breakfast.

I think BBC North do their Headlines at 1,6,10 live
Peter Levy and Ian White occasionally talk a bit too long
And Ian White introduces himself on days when there isn't a regional annoucement for some reason.

Also Peter Levy only finishes his Radio show at 12.30pm!

Many regions (and UK Today) record their 1800 and 1815 headline inserts at about 1750, instead of doing them live. South Today is no exception, but they have more things to record than other regions.

That's poo .... sorry. Most regions actually do the 1800 and 1815 heads live, and then the headline sequence of the main programme is pre-recorded at 1820ish (or they do at Points West for one, and I know quite a few others do too)

South Today, as Nicky said, record the opening for Oxford, then it gets played out from the pres studio ...
