Did NBC and MSNBC share broadcasts?
Same as a line the NBC coverage used. Works for consistency across the coverage.

On this day (*or yesterday, if you like) 1988: The BBC Six O’Clock News studio was invaded by pro-LGBT rights protestors against Section 28, a bill that could ban school from teaching homosexuality. “BEEB MAN SITS ON LESBIAN”, tabloids proclaimed the next day, as presenter of the night, Nicholas Witchell, muffled one of the protestors violently.
This was the Nine on the incident:

I think it was Seven that first had CNN in the 1980s when it launched its satellite link to the US, leading to them showing CNN (and NBC) content in News Overnight from 1985. Maybe it wasn’t exclusive access if Ten was also using footage, or there was some sort of pool arrangement for major news.

Correct. 7 and CNN was stronger in 1985 for news than 7 were with NBC. That year was the first I’d ever heard of CNN through Seven’s overnight promis.
