Recorded on Thursday October 28th 1999. Starts off with the schedule plus countdown, then news headlines, then BBC News 24 startup and then joined by the journalists.
About the news headlines thing, what you said is right, however, in some cases, an and a switch places. For example, you say a university instead of an university, and an hour instead of a hour. Say it out loud. Does a hour make sense?
You use 'an' when the next word starts with a vowel sound, not necessarily a vowel. As the h is silent, you use 'an'.
