I always understood the practice to be that ITV cue dots were the on-air programme counting themselves off-air so that the various pres suites were ready with the next junction or ad break.
So what's going on here? Surely in this situation where the Calendar news bulletin has to be off at a very precise time in order to meet the ITN newsflash, pres would be counting them off air rather than the news studio telling Pres when they are wrapping up, so why the dots?

Yes not sure about the cue dot but some great timimg and presumably a bit of luck there enabling them to get to the newsflash nice and neatly at the end of the regional bulletin.

March 1993 perhaps, judging from
the outcome of Australian election mentioned in the ITN report.
Now on TVTalk, Pres Café and DeviantArt. Goodbye to all that, TVLF.

I don’t think the back announcement would be done that differently today in that circumstance- except they’d probably show a still of the person. The weirder detail (for me) is that super-abrupt mid-sentence fading out of the discussion, though this was common back then. I’ve seen a black and white Fred Dinenage-fronted schools programme from the 60s somewhere on the web where this also happens
