Before this, announcers only introduced occasional opt-outs, which resulted in the London announcer being heard most of the time, the Scottish announcer wasn't even heard before <a href="/wiki/Reporting_Scotland" class="mw-redirect" title="Reporting Scotland">Reporting Scotland</a> because in those days the early evening Regional News magazines began with a 'throw' from the <a href="/wiki/Nationwide_(TV_programme)" title="Nationwide (TV programme)">Nationwide</a> programme.

Consequently, he never read the news summaries, nor did he ever give his name at closedown. From 1985, the announcing team started doing a news summary just before children's programmes at around 15:53, and within a few weeks, additional news summaries at 21:25 were introduced. From 31 October 1988, newsroom staff started to read the news summaries instead of the announcers.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
