After the News, they always say, 'and now the news where you are' and on comes South East Today. How do they KNOW I am in the South East?
Father in law lives in Yorkshire, we want to see his weather forecast when we visit so we can plan what to do. Oh no, he gets NW (Manchester) news & weather, he didn't know why. Google told us it's because he watches TV in HD (we can't see the difference from the ordinary picture.... he expects it to be better because he's been told it is?) and Yorkshire doesn't transmit in HD.

2025=3 sites, 5 nights; 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

The reason they do a "Coming up later in the programme" and repeat it several times is simply to fill the time required. They can't be bothered to create anything more or the programme topic is so narrow there is no more they can add... Simples
Anyway... coming up later....

At a time of austerity, when the BBC is looking at major cuts to a number of services, you cant really blame them for not investing the extra millions (billions?) on bringing every local studio, camera, link between locations etc up to HD standard. It's not really difficult to select the SD channel to watch your local news!
The way that people watch TV is changing ... many will channel surf, many will stream, and many will catch up. Not everybody watches live TV via a local transmitter and while there are several hundred alternatives available, is it not reasonable that broadcasters will try to retain those currently viewing by tempting them to watch 'what's coming up' and also providing a brief 'what's happened' to those who have just started watching. They are, after all, judged on and/or earn income from their viewing figures.
Some of us enjoy the musical accompaniment to both drama and documentary, which will often provide a further revenue stream to the TV company.

In the 70s , when I as involved in such things, the rule of thumb seemed to be 30 minutes shooting time to get 1 second airtime.
There was then all the post production costs like colour grading, titling, volume controls etc.
Add into that any preproduction costs such as costume, scripts, location and you can see why fixed studio live recording is so much more economic.
Hence game shows, studio discussions, fillers etc.
Music could always be used to convey mood in an easier and more convincing way than set design or acting.

Maybe the music is just to disguise just how bad some programmes are.

I think they are assuming that the viewing population has the attention span of a gnat and will flutter off somewhere else if not constantly exhorted to stay with the channel. Shrinking of credits in favour of trailers is something that annoys me too.
Its like being at the old time cinema. When the credits came on everyone was making a dash for the exit to avoid having to stand still during the playing of "God Save The Queen. "
