Meant that Carol Malia was only broadcasting to half the region and the Cumbria lot could only get the London news that BBC2 Digital transmitted. To be honest, The majority of the UK probably watched BBC London that evening.
2009 was the final time it happened, after DSO had commenced. It was a wee bit silly.

The majority of the UK probably watched the tennis. And I doubt anyone outside London not interested in the tennis would have stuck with 30 minutes of London news. They'd have switched to something else (ITV possibly).

I assume the 'Wimbledon 2Day' name was something a 50 something BBC executive came up with to make the highlights programme appeal to a younger audience and be more hip. When will they ever learn?!

Shout out to BBC Newcastle, who quickly rustled up a Jeff Brown solo announcement. A for effort.
So which regions will do their own continuity into their programme and who will stick with a generic network version?

Regional news in England can't be shown on BBC Two. However it has been known for the nations to move across to BBC Two during a late running Murray match at 1830.
Yes as whilst in the past regional news could be shown on BBC Two (and in fact I think they moved it for Wimbledon just a few years before DSO), that's no longer a possibility post Digital Switchover
The regional news regularly got bumped to Two for Henman and Murray games before switchover, however this could only be seen on analogue, and even then sub-opts couldn't be shown. The practice carried on fairly late into the day, possibly as late as 2007.
I seem to remember it happening in 2008 (maybe 2009 too) and regions which had DSOd got nothing.
I think they will keep it on BBC Two the whole time. The news will need to be shown on One today due to Tunisia and Greece stories, and I doubt they wanna put regional news on Two either. So the match will remain on Two till 7:30.

As above, 2009 was the last time it happened but only Cumbria had DSOed at that point, but I imagine very few people would have watched analogue anyway. As the YouTube link states in its description, now only the national news moves, the regions go on after the match.
It was either last year or the year before that epically took the p:ss and EastEnders got shoved right back to 9:50pm on a Friday night. A very odd decision not to show it on Two instead.

Was 2009 the same year that some of Devon had DSOd too meaning that the Spotlight outside broadcast that was taking place that night couldn't be seen in the town it was broadcasting from?
